Stay connected with your culture and community while living independently

Co.As.It. operates several Social Support Groups across metropolitan Sydney, including the Inner West, Northern Sydney, South-West Sydney, South-East Sydney and the Sutherland Shire. These groups provide welcoming spaces for older Australians to socialise and foster connection within Italian and multi-cultural communities.

Our groups provide structured activities with trained bilingual and bicultural staff to ensure that participants can socialise in a safe and supportive atmosphere while maintaining their independence. These groups are perfect opportunities for simply getting out of the house and socialising or for more engaged goal setting for the development of wellness and reablement.

These groups are available for participants across the spectrum of ability, from frail aged and people living with dementia to active and engaged members of the community who can plan their own activities.

Cost and eligibility

Participants are asked to contribute a fee for this service, which will be discussed during the assessment process and may be included in your Commonwealth Home Support Program (CHSP) or Support at Home (SAH) budgets. To be eligible for the Social Support Group Program, individuals must first be assessed by a Regional Assessment Service (RAS) through the My Aged Care referral website: www.myagedcare.gov.au
