Elders Support Services

Danila Dilba Elders Support Services

Since mid-2023, DDHS has provided a range of services and supports to clients aged 50+ (45+ for homeless clients).

Our goal is to keep our ageing clients living independently for longer by offering a range of culturally safe, trauma-informed care options.

Things our team can help with:

• Helping clients (and their families and carers) navigate through the My Aged Care system.

• Providing information about the full range of aged care services available to clients in the Greater Darwin region (provided by both Danila Dilba and other services).
