DAYLINKS
Provides local door to door transport for people who are transport disadvantaged. If someone does not drive or are unable to access public transport, or who require physical support, then Daylinks is for them.
The DayLinks program keeps people connected by enabling access to medical and health appointments, recreation programs, shopping, physical fitness groups and with our new expanded service access to specific Alfred and Caulfield hospital appointments.

Petmates
PetMates is an innovative program which helps older people and people with a disability care for their companion animal at home. Current research indicates that having animals at home increases physical health and improves our sense of personal wellbeing.
To remain happy and healthy, a dog needs regular exercise. If illness, injury or some other constraint prevents owners from walking their dogs, a volunteer may be able to assist through our PetMates program by providing regular dog walking. Occasional pet grooming and pet transport is also provided.
Gardenmates
GardenMates volunteers assist older people and people with a disability in the care and enhancement of their garden.
Walkmates
Links a suitable volunteer walking companion to an elderly person or person with a disability who needs some form of support, either physical or encouragement, to get outdoors and stretch their legs with a leisurely physical and social walk.
