Social connection and belonging are critical for our health and wellbeing.
Community Connections Program supports people who are not eligible for mainstream programs such as NDIS and My Aged Care to be more involved in their community and to connect to support networks and services. It's a short-term program (up to 12 weeks) delivered through a statewide network of partners. Each person is supported to establish and maintain meaningful social connections with community, supportive social networks and a sense of belonging.
The Community Passenger Network is an enabling service that works alongside Community Connections Program that helps those who can’t access traditional transports (public, private or rented) to visit services, shopping centres, community facilities and to connect socially with their community.
