CCA’s Food Services provides support to all eligible persons. This includes any person who is:

• Aged 65 years and over (or 50 years and over for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people) or;
• At risk of premature or inappropriate admission to long term residential care;
• A carer of someone in the above categories; or
• NDIS participants.
• A nutritionally balanced meal delivered to aged people, people with a disability, and their carers. The service is not means tested.
• Most people prefer to live at home but may need support. Without services such as MoW clients are at risk of premature admission to aged care.
• We actively educate clients and reduce the high risk of malnutrition in older people. Improving nutrition reduces other associated health risks.
• Often a MoW meal is the highest source of nutritional content for someone who would otherwise exist on tea and toast.
• Our volunteers are often the only daily contact for our clients, reducing social isolation and assisting in monitoring their health and wellbeing.
• Meals are tailored to meet dietary (e.g. diabetic, gluten free etc.), taste and cultural requirements.
