Commonwealth Home Support Programs

GWC Community Services provides Social Support and Centre Based Respite Groups for the frail aged, Greek-speaking and Culturally and Linguistically Diverse background and people living with dementia.

The program is coordinated by highly trained staff and includes transport to and from the centres. All participants can expect to be treated with dignity and respect. They will have the opportunity to participate in a variety of activities, enjoy meeting new people, and also have a meal in a relaxed and enjoyable setting.
