Do Care is a Social Support Program that addresses social isolation and assists individuals to improve confidence and become involved in their community, by one to one matching with a volunteer or by providing regular outings and social activities.

Do Care is for the frail aged, or people who have a disAbility, and who live independently in their own home and experience social isolation.

People wishing to become a volunteer are required to undergo an assessment, police check and attend training sessions. 

Once volunteers are approved, they are provided with ongoing support and supervision. Volunteers can be matched in a one to one relationship or they can become involved in group activities.

A referral to Do Care may be a self referral, from the person's doctor, a social worker, a family member, a neighbour, or a friend. Once the referral is made, the co-ordinator will visit the person being referred to discuss their needs.

Do Care is funded through DHS HACC.
