THE DONWOOD COMMUNITY PROGRAM
Our Community program is designed for those who live at home in the community and would like to participate in interesting activities. It’s also a fantastic opportunity for carers to take a break, while knowing their loved ones are in a positive, safe and supportive environment. All referrals for this program are through My Aged Care. Visit their website or call 1800 200 422 to learn more.

How much does it cost?
The fees are means tested which means some people who are recognised as having a higher financial status will pay more. Our aim is to keep our fees as low as possible to allow everyone the opportunity to access our programs. Call us on (03) 9845 8584 to learn more.
