The Support at Home program includes an End-of-Life Pathway to support older Australians in the final stage of life.

For someone who has been diagnosed with 3 months or less to live, this pathway can provide urgent support and extra funding for nursing care, occupational therapy, physiotherapy, help with showering and getting dressed, medication support, transport, respite care, cleaning, gardening, shopping, and meal preparation.

Assistive technology and home modifications can make everyday tasks easier and safer, helping older Australians stay at home and in their community for longer.

Through the AT-HM scheme, you may be able to access products and equipment such as wheelchairs, walking frames, shower chairs, modified cutlery, or communication aids. You may also be able to access changes to your home, such as grab rails, handrails, ramps, lever taps, or non-slip materials.

These supports can help you keep doing the things you enjoy with greater accessibility, independence, and safety.

Regaining confidence after a hospital admission, fall, or illness can be challenging. The Restorative Care Pathway can help older Australians get back on their feet with specialised funding to support them to do the things they enjoy independently for as long as they can.

What this looks like will be different for everyone. It will include allied health or nursing care, but can also cover exercises to improve strength and balance, or equipment and minor home modifications.

This week is National Reconciliation Week (27 May to 3 June), a chance for all Australians to learn, reflect, and consider the role each of us plays in reconciliation.

The week is marked by key anniversaries: 27 May, the anniversary of the successful 1967 Referendum, and 3 June, the anniversary of the High Court Mabo decision.

This year’s theme, “All In”, reminds us that reconciliation is lived through everyday actions, such as listening with openness, showing respect, and providing culturally safe care centred on the person.

Because at Neighbourcare (on Gringai Country, a clan of the Wonnarua Nation with ties to the neighbouring Worimi Nation), everyone deserves to live their best lives with care at home.

This week is just one part of a wider season of significant days and weeks.

The faces of volunteering at Neighbourcare. 💛

We’re looking back on our Volunteer Week celebrations and the wonderful people who make Neighbourcare what it is. For many of our volunteers, it’s not only about giving back. It’s also about friendship, purpose and staying connected with the community.

This year’s theme was Your Year to Volunteer, so if you’ve been thinking about getting involved, now is a great time to take that first step.

Give us a call or visit our website to find out more:

Thank you for volunteering!

During National Volunteer Week, we were proud to come together for a special morning tea to thank our wonderful volunteers.

It was a warm and lively gathering, with plenty of chatting, stories, trivia, and connection over a cuppa and a bite to eat. Years of Service awards were also presented, recognising the time, care, and heart our volunteers give to the Dungog community.

To every volunteer, thank you. Your kindness and support make a real difference to local people and families.

This week, we’re supporting National Road Safety Week.

With many of our team on the road each day, safe driving is essential — not just for our staff, but for the clients we transport and support.

It’s a good reminder to slow down, stay focused, and look out for one another every time we drive.
