The Restorative Care Pathway is a new program, starting from 1 November 2025, and replaces what was previously called the Short-Term Restorative Care program (STRC). 

If you are part of the STRC program your care will be transitioned to the Restorative Care Pathway. 

If you have any questions about how this transition may impact your care with Uniting AgeWell, please contact our team on 1300 783 435.
