SOCIAL SUPPPORT
Centre for Participation is a not-for-profit provider of the federal government’s Commonwealth Home Support Programme. This program provides entry-level home care and support for people aged 65 years and over (or 50 years and over for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people), who need some help to live independently at home. At the Centre we can provide:
Social Support – If you are our CHSP client and have Social Support with My Age Care we can provide you with individual or if you prefer group social support activities.
Individual Social Support – you tell us what you need (trip to the shops, go to the cinema, go for a cuppa, companion to go to a medical appointment etc) and we will endeavour to find a volunteer to assist you.
Group Social Support – want to join a group for a Bus outing. We run regular small group trips on our bus to various areas around our district. One week you could be going to the Military Museum in Horsham, the next week you might have a picnic in Halls Gap or maybe a journey around the Silo trail.
The next Bus Outings are as follows:
