Discover the support services available in our city which help improve well being and social connection for our older residents.

We can help you connect with your local community through activities, events, or individual support. If you don't drive you can catch the Community Bus to the shops or you can get help with transport to essential appointments.

We can also help you find the right support services. If you require assistance in the home, maintenance around the home and garden, or changes to your home to keep you independent, we can help you find the right service provider. Our aim is to help you find the right professional who can meet your specific requirements, ensuring you receive the assistance you need.

Our range of services includes:

• Community bus trips to local shopping centres for transport disadvantaged residents.
• Personal transport for CHSP clients registered with Community Wellbeing; 1:1 transport to medical and therapy appointments.
• Social groups such as cards and craft activities at Hewett Sports Hub (Mondays), cards and games at Tiwu Kumangka (Thursdays) and Cumberland Park Community Centre (Tuesdays); exercise and fitness classes, as well as monthly men's lunch groups.
• Information, advocacy, and referral for vulnerable residents over 65, and under 65 with disability.
• Community bus outings and day trips to places of interest around Adelaide and into regional SA.
• Bus outings to your local library with volunteer helpers including a trip to a local café afterwards.
• See our transport and social programs page for more detail.

My Aged Care

My Aged Care is the Australian Government's starting point on a person's aged care journey. For residents 65 years of age and over, or in some circumstances younger, contacting My Aged Care is the first step in gaining access to a range of services at subsidised fees. Some of the Wellbeing programs require a My Aged Care service referral to participate.
