The Statewide Human Services Directory comprises comprehensive and up-to-date
service information to assist referral and access to services. Consumers,
carers and workers may use the Human Services Directory to search for
Doctors, Dentists, and other health practitioners, and health related services
anywhere in the state of Victoria.
By using the service directory I was able to identify an Albanian Speaking
Nursing Home for a family. I gave the family the contact details. This
greatly relieved their stress and anxiety.
