Our Social Support Groups are subsidised by the Australian Government through the Commonwealth Home Support Programme (CHSP). Referrals are received via My Aged Care. To find out more or request an assessment by visiting myagedcare.gov.au or call 1800 200 422.

We provide a range of small, facilitated group activities, tailored to suit different interests, abilities and comfort levels. Activities include facilitated social groups, walking groups, lunch gatherings, movie sessions and community outings using our minibus. All activities take place in accessible community venues and are supported by trained volunteers and staff.

We take time to get to know each participant. Before joining a group, you’ll meet individually with one of our friendly team members so we can learn about your interests and preferences, discuss any support needs and identify the group that feels like the best fit for you. You can call 9856 1500 or email ssp@doncare.org.au for more information.
