ADULT SAFEGUARDING PRACTITIONER

Here at the Department of Human Services (DHS), we strive to deliver modern programs, services and policy that strengthen communities and enable South Australians to actively participate in community life. With people at the heart of what we do and a commitment to child safety, ageing well and supporting people with disability, we work to increase inclusion, independence and decision-making, and help our communities when it matters most.

The Office for Ageing Well works to fulfill the government's commitment to support older South Australians live and age well. Through consultation and engagement with them, and by partnering with government, non-government and community organisations, the Officer administers two Acts and delivers a range of initiatives, services and programs, including the Adult Safeguarding Unit, Retirement Villages Unit, Seniors Card Program, ageing policy and Ageing Well Community Grants.
