We currently provide 2 services via the Commonwealth Home Support Programme (CHSP). A shopping bus to local shopping centres (Forest Hills Chase, Burwood One and Waverley Gardens) on a Monday morning on a weekly rotating basis. Social activities on a Wednesday morning, which may include a meal at a local cafe, an in-house movie, gentle exercises or games activities at Alamein Neighbourhood and Learning. In both cases, eligible participants are picked up by our bus at your door from 10 am onwards and returned home by about 1:30 pm. There is a small charge, currently $5, for using this service. To participate, you must be over 65 years of age, registered with My Aged Care, a Boroondara resident, and be able to independently board our bus.
