How does it work?
Before any activity, we conduct extensive research to determine the suitability of activities and venues, putting your health and safety first. This is offered as an optional service within the HCP or CHSP plan. To participate in the social groups, contact us on 02 8011 0911 and we will guide you through the process.
What Are The Benefits?
Participating in social support groups indoors and outdoors is a golden chance for you to get away from your daily life routine, stay active, meet new people, and enjoy a variety of activities.
What Are The Outcomes?
Our main aim of these social activities is that you enjoy the mental and physical advantages of staying active as you get older.
Flexible Respite care
Respite Care is short-term service available to a person and their caregiver. We designed respite care to allow caregivers to take time out for themselves whilst ensuring that the person receiving care is being looked after by well-trusted professionals.
How does it work?
Respite Care can range from just a few hours a week to overnight stays and can take place during weekdays or weekends. At Muslimcare, we provide Respite Care services where you can attend social and recreational activities, while supported by highly trained staff. It is the perfect choice for our loved ones who deserve a break from their role as caregivers, as they can rest assured knowing Muslimcare will
always be there.

Services can include domestic assistance, personal care, social support, transport to appointments, and allied health. Contact My Aged Care on 1800 200 422 to find out if you are eligible.
Social Support Groups
Our social support groups are designed to give you a break from your routine home environment, and experience the joy of indoor and outdoor activities. You can enjoy a relaxing time indoors, socialising over some tea and coffee, staying updated with the latest news and why not have a little fun with a game of bingo, or two! You also can enjoy the day relaxing out in the community. It is the perfect opportunity to meet new people and create long-lasting friendships. We understand how tiresome being at home can get sometimes, and we want you to feel alive!
