Assistance to older people and their carers is now available at The Parks Community Network. This is a FREE community service, funded by the Federal Government. This service is called Multicultural Access and Referral Service or MARS. If you are 65 years old or older, MARS can guide you to find services that help older people continue living independently at home, with the assistance you need.

Suzan Isaacs works at the Parks community Network in Wettherill Park. She provides service through Parks community network to elderly Assyrians. She talks about the services provided by Multicultural Access and Referral Service or (MARS).
