MEALS ON WHEELS SERVICE UPDATE

THERE have been concerns raised in the community recently about whether the meal delivery service will continue in Murrindindi Shire.

Sunbury and Cobaw Community Health (SCCH) have advised that Commonwealth Home Support Program clients will continue to receive their meal service.

From Wednesday, January 1, 2025, SCCH will manage the Commonwealth Home Support Program service for the Mitchell, Strathbogie and Murrindindi local government areas.

SCCH will manage the meals service, which will be delivered by its contractors. Clients will continue to receive ready to eat healthy meals delivered to their door.

While Sunbury and Cobaw Community Health will manage the contract, Nexus Primary Health has been engaged to continue to deliver most Commonwealth Home Support Program services through a subcontract model.

As members of the Alliance of Rural and Regional Community Health, SCCH partners with Nexus on a number of projects.
