Support for Indigenous Communities
Community Care
As an Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander person, over the age of 50, we would like to welcome you to the groups and services available through Council’s Community Care team.
This team has been delivering one-on-one support and fun activities in the City of Parramatta for more than twenty years.
As registered providers for both the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) and Home Care, the Community Care team can work with you to implement the activities and services you want and need day-to-day.
This includes dining out at local participating restaurants, and groups like arts and crafts, choir, dancing, and painting.
We also welcome ideas about how to integrate cultural activities into our programs.
