Senior support

A range of services are provided by us to support frail older people and people with disabilities, and their carers, to live independently in the community.

Services are provided when frailty, disability or illness prevent a person from undertaking the tasks of daily living for themselves. The range of services available includes home care, personal care, respite care, delivered meals, property maintenance, social support, community transport and senior citizens centres.

Approximately 4,000 residents access community care services each year. Funding is provided by the Commonwealth and Victorian Governments through the Home and Community Care (HACC) program to assist Council in providing these services.
