TLC Aged Care has joined forces with the Salaam Group to introduce Salaam Living, a service designed to address the specific needs of Australia’s Muslim community in aged care and disability support. This initiative reflects TLC Aged Care’s unwavering commitment to inclusivity and personalised care that honours cultural and religious values.
A Central Hub for Support and Guidance
Salaam Living is a key resource for Muslim families and individuals seeking assistance navigating government-funded aged care and disability services. This initiative was created to reduce the challenges many encounter when accessing these essential services, ensuring a seamless experience for the community.
Leadership Committed to Making a Difference
Yasser Zaki, CEO of TLC Aged Care, emphasised the importance of this partnership in supporting older Australians. He highlighted TLC Aged Care’s dedication to enhancing the lives of vulnerable community members by providing tailored support that respects their social, emotional, and physical needs.
Professor Talal Yassine, Managing Director of the Salaam Group, also praised the collaboration. He noted that Salaam Living aims to simplify the complexities of accessing aged care and National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) services. This initiative ensures that the community receives compassionate and effective support.
A Legacy of Inclusivity and Excellence
For nearly 30 years, TLC Aged Care has fostered inclusive communities celebrating diversity. Offering a range of services, from aged care and disability support to allied health services, TLC Aged Care empowers individuals to live independently and maintain their quality of life at home.
By incorporating cultural understanding into their care models, TLC Aged Care ensures that services are not only accessible but also respectful of the unique needs of Australia’s Muslim population. The partnership with Salaam Group aligns perfectly with the organisation’s mission to provide personalised support that facilitates access and enhances life goals.
Advocating for Collaboration and Community Support
At the launch of Salaam Living, former New South Wales politician and NDIS advocate John Della Bosca highlighted the importance of partnerships between service providers and community organisations. He warned that Australia could only face a crisis in care provision with such collaborations.
Through Salaam Living, TLC Aged Care and Salaam Group aim to empower older Australians to live their lives fully and with dignity, bridging the gap in culturally sensitive care services.
A Vision for the Future of Aged Care
Salaam Living represents a significant milestone in addressing the specific needs of Australia’s Muslim community. By integrating cultural understanding and providing comprehensive support, TLC Aged Care and Salaam Group are setting a benchmark for aged care and disability services in the country.
This initiative reflects TLC Aged Care’s broader vision of creating a world where elderly individuals can access the services they need to achieve their goals. The organisation’s focus on respect, inclusivity, and empowerment ensures that individuals receive care tailored to their unique needs.
Redefining Inclusive Care
