Community access on the South Coast
Get out, stay connected, do the things you loveAppointments, the shops, the bank, a drive, a coffee somewhere with a view. The ordinary week, done properly, with a worker who knows the roads from Nowra to Batemans Bay.
What it covers
Real support. Real outcomes.Appointments
Getting there, being there, and the follow-up afterwards so nothing said in the room gets lost.
Shopping and errands
The shops, the bank, the post office, the chemist. Built into the week rather than squeezed around it.
Social outings
The beach, a cafe, the footy, church, a friend's place. Whatever connection looks like for you.
Transport
Safe, reliable transport to appointments and activities, built into the shift rather than left for you to arrange.
Building confidence
Catching the bus, making the appointment yourself next time, doing more of it independently at whatever pace suits.
Hospital runs
Nowra, and Wollongong when that is where the appointment is. The shift runs as long as the appointment does.
Who it’s for
How it gets fundedNDIS
Community participation and transport under core supports, and capacity building where the plan funds it. Registered provider.
Support at Home
Social support and transport for older people under the Support at Home program, so the week still has somewhere to go.
DVA and private
Veterans and their partners, and anyone paying privately who wants company and a lift to get out.
What a week looks like
A familiar face, planned a month ahead- A standing outing each week, planned a month ahead, with a familiar face.
- The appointment in Nowra with the drive, the wait and the questions asked on your behalf.
- A coffee at Mollymook because it is Thursday and Thursday is the hard day.
