The Community Inclusion Program is a social support service for people who are frail, aged and people with a disability.
Day Programs
Provides healthy activities for adults with a disability, eg drama, cooking, jewellery making, and swimming. Activities happen at organisations, services and businesses in the community. Each month people can make new friends at fun, out of hours activities, eg horse riding, fishing, dancing, etc.
Planned Activity Group (PAG)
Helps people who are frail aged and/or have a disability. Activity groups are on 3 days each week and one Sunday each month. They provide social contact for people who are socially or geographically isolated. This also helps their carers. Planned Activity Groups are located at Moyhu and Wangaratta.
This activity receives funding from the Australian and Victorian Governments.
My Future My Choice
Makes life better for people 50 years or younger who live in residential aged care services (hostels and nursing homes) in the Hume Region. Some people are helped to find a new home in the community with their friends and family. Others enjoy activities with their friends in the community while remaining in the nursing home.
Futures for Young Adults
