Access 
You can access the programs by contacting the Program Coordinator directly or by obtaining a referral from your doctor, family, friend or another service provider.  

Service Fees 
While all Social Support programs are funded through the Department of Human Services in Victoria and the Department of Health and Human Services in Tasmania, you will be asked to make only a small contribution.  Your contribution is means tested and based on your individual circumstances.  

Uniting Aged Care does not refuse services to clients if they are unable to afford to make a contribution to their care provision.

The Coordinator in your area is available to discuss your payment options with you.

Individual Needs  
Care staff are available for clients requiring physical assistance. 

Transport  
Transport to and from our activities can be arranged.  Please speak to the Program Coordinator who can coordinate the transport you may require.  

Meals 
Morning tea and lunch is included at most programs.  You will be provided with information about what you might need to bring before you attend.
