Seniors Support

Sometimes it's hard to keep in touch with others, everybody is so busy. Our social inclusion program helps seniors to remain social even if it is in their own home. No need to feel isolated and alone.

One of our friendly and trained volunteers will visit you to ensure we meet your own personal goals. For example have a chat, go for a walk, read the paper and discuss, search the web on the internet, sort of those photo albums, water the plants, help you zoom (stay in touch with the family).

Over the years we streamlined our process to keep you safe. All our volunteers and staff are trained, have been through stringent worker screening process including criminal record checks, NDIS worker checks, and are covered by insurance.

Staying active in your 50's and beyond can be your best strategy to age well!

Exercise can enhance your energy levels, keep you at a healthy weight, and even possibly reduce some of the symptoms associated with aging. Exercise can be good for your brain and emotional state as well as your body. Whether you’re looking to maintain your current weight or to feel more energetic and healthy overall, we offer lots of options to help you remain healthy.

If you are no longer able to do shopping on your own or prefer that little bit of support we can organise a volunteer who can assist.

We know how important it is to get your shopping right! We understand we all have our preferred brands, cost saving strategies, preferences.

Our staff will pick up your shopping list and shop on your behalf. Both safe and productive. If you prefer to do it yourself, we also have a concierge shopping service where we will make available volunteers or staff to safely transport you to your chosen shops (geographical boundaries do apply). We pick you up, support you to undertake your shopping, carry those shopping bags for you and take you home.

We can help you stay active in your community by helping you get out and about either one on one our friendly volunteers or staff or in a group social outing. Our team can help you get where you want to go. We regularly check in with you, our customers, to decide our next group destinations.

You can join our fun planned group outings to local community areas or places of interest you wish to explore! Our calendar is packed with options for you to choose from.

Meet new people, bring your friends, enjoy great company and exciting events. When was the last time you visited a beach, park you love, museum?
