Illaroo Co-operative Aboriginal Corporation was established and incorporated in 1982 as a non-profit organisation, Nine years later ICAC established Rose Mumbler Village (RMV) Aboriginal Hostel; to provide “Culturally Appropriate & Acceptable” Quality Care by providing permanent accommodation for elderly Aboriginal couples or individuals we provide short term (respite) and long term care.
In 2001 ICAC was successful in obtaining 25 Aboriginal Specific Community Aged Care Packages to cater for the needs of the Aged Aboriginal Community Members, who wished to remain within their own homes preventing premature admission to residential care facilities; three years later ICAC established Shoalhaven Aboriginal Aged & Disability Care Service through additional funds from the Department of Ageing Disability and Home Care to provide community services to frail aged, younger people with disabilities and their carers now known as the Multi Service Outlet. We are hoping over time to expand all our services and in particular our residential care placements within RMV.
At this time, please note that the community packages are arranged under Home Care Program and the Commonwealth Home Support Program as well as NDIS services.
