HomeReach: new weekly segments for NSW from SBS Radio

The 2008 HomeReach series on SBS radio, has been launched. It provides valuable, multilingual information about the home and community care sector.

The NSW Department of Ageing, Disability and Home Care (DADHC) had been working in partnership with SBS since 1993 to deliver the HomeReach series.
 
This year, HomeReach will be broadcast in the following languages: Vietnamese, Arabic, Italian, Mandarin, Spanish, Croatian, Khmer, and Dari, as well as English. 
 
The 2008 series was expected to reach more than 212,000 listeners, covering topics including: home care and domestic help; food services and Meals on Wheels; falls prevention and remaining active; home modification and maintenance; the importance of making a will; respite; the Translating and Interpreting Services; and information on how to make a complaint if clients or carers have concerns about services they are receiving.
 
The segments will now take the form of an interview between an SBS presenter and a client or service provider.

HomeReach will also provide audio downloads and podcasts through the SBS website. This means the HomeReach series will be available for downloading from anywhere in NSW including regional areas, at anytime, by individuals or community groups.

The HomeReach website is www.sbs.com.au/homereach
