Social Support Groups assist people’s ability to remain connected to the community by providing a range of enjoyable and meaningful activities that build upon independence. Participants are picked up and dropped off from home / place of residence.
An extension of these programs is the Weekend Outreach Program, which offers eligible residents within the Bass Coast Shire, fully supported weekends in suitably selected holiday accommodation.
