JULY 1 is D-Day for council-run community aged care support services in Glenelg Shire and while no provider has yet been found, the federal government says it is confident an arrangement will be reached.

The need for a new provider or providers has become urgent since Glenelg Shire Council decided in February to pull out of providing the services from the new financial year, citing the need for significant investment in changes to its operating model and reduction in operating costs to comply with new federal government regulations around the sector.
