Services for older people
We offer a range of support services and activities for community members across our region – offering choice and flexibility to support your individual needs.
Our services are funded by the Australian Department of Health and are delivered in accordance with the Commonwealth Home Support Programme Guidelines, delivering basic entry level services to eligible individuals.
We can help with:
Social support
We offer social activities to support older members of our community to remain active and independent.
Social support covers a range of group and social activities, such as home visits, outings, videos, lunches, movies, cuppa ‘n’ a chat, help with your shopping and general community access.
Referral services
We offer referral services for people of all ages, aiding access to other agencies and support services.
Home maintenance and modifications
Minor home modifications and maintenance to improve the safety of your home are available to clients.
A qualified tradesperson will complete the work.
Delivered Meals
We deliver a variety of meal, specific to your location.
Flexible respite care
Our large volunteer resources enable us to offer you support, so carers have an opportunity to pursue other activities of interest.
