Where a care type under the Act is identified as the most appropriate type of support to meet the client's needs, and
the client meets the eligibility criteria; the assessor will make a recommendation for approval.
A client may be approved for a Home Care Package, Residential Care, Residential Respite Care or Flexible Care. Clients may also be referred to other Commonwealth funded services.

A little about us.
David Berry Hospital located in the township of Berry, has proudly served the community since 1909, providing essential sub-acute rehabilitation and specialist palliative care. However, due to its 115-year-old infrastructure, it is transitioning its services to Shoalhaven Hospital, the main acute care facility for the region. These services will continue at David Berry Hospital until the completion of the redeveloped Shoalhaven Memorial Hospital in 2026.
Shoalhaven Memorial Hospital offers a wide range of medical services, including emergency care, surgical and orthopaedic services, and has recently undergone significant redevelopment. This is an exciting time to join our progressive and growing team in the Shoalhaven region, with strong opportunities for career development.
