Social Support & Companionship for Older Australians

Staying connected is just as important as physical health. Our carers offer friendly company, conversation and support to get out and about, helping reduce loneliness and keeping life enjoyable.

What's Included

  • Friendly visits and conversation
  • Accompanying you to appointments, shopping or social groups
  • Walks, café visits and outings
  • Hobbies, games and shared activities
  • Help using phones or tablets to stay in touch with family
  • Support to attend cultural, religious or community events

Who It's For

Older people who live alone, feel isolated, or would like support to keep doing the things they enjoy outside the home.
