Aged and Disability ServicesAt Glenelg Shire we offer a range of support services for people over seventy, people with disabilities, and for carers. Some of our services are subsidised, while others are offered on a user-pays basis. Our Aged and Disability Services help people remain in their homes while maintaining their independence and their access to the community. They are designed to enhance the physical and emotional wellbeing of individuals and their carers.

Our services include:

Home Care Assistance with household tasks such as cleaning, laundry, personal business and shopping.

Property Maintenance such as mowing, edging, essential pruning and lopping, rubbish removal, minor household repairs and handrail installation.

Food Services can deliver a two-course midday meal seven (7) days a week to people whose circumstances make it difficult for them to prepare meals, whether on a short or long-term basis.

Respite Care allows carers to take part in activities they enjoy, attend to business or just have some ‘time out’. If you are a carer we will develop an Assessment and Care Plan with you and the person you care for, to ensure that your loved one receives the best attention possible while you enjoy a break.



Personal Care is designed to assist people over seventy, and people with disabilities, with personal hygiene and morning routines such as getting out of bed, mobility and eating routines.

Planned Activity Groups throughout Glenelg Shire provide social and recreational opportunities for frail, aged people, and for people with disabilities. Our programs provide entertainment while helping people to maintain their independence and develop new skills. They offer respite to carers by giving them the chance to take a break. Planned Activity Groups meet in Heywood (‘Riverwood’) and in Portland (‘Kurrajong’). Planned activity groups also operate in Casterton, Merino and Dartmoor.

All Abilities Development (Access and Inclusion)This service is designed to help people with a disability, and their carers, to participate in all aspects of community life. All Abilities Development (Access and Inclusion) encourages and assists community groups and services to find innovative ways to include people with disabilities in their activities.

Youth ServicesCouncil provides opportunities for young people to participate in youth activities and events while developing organisational and leadership skills.

We work with young people across the shire to deliver the FreeZa program, National Youth Week initiatives and provide activities through the Engage! and Voices and Choices Programs. These programs encourage young people to become involved in planning and delivering a variety of activities and events in their local community. They are then supported to become involved in further participation and decision making, resulting in a strong connection to their community.

We also deliver a youth-orientated school holiday program throughout the year providing a wide range of activities for young people across the shire that includes art, music, dance and outdoor and active pursuits.


Community DevelopmentCouncil encourages communities in Glenelg Shire to take collective action and generate solutions to shared problems. Council acts on behalf of our communities by advocating needs and preferences to political decision-makers and service providers. Council officers also provide practical advice and assistance in seeking grants, managing projects and creating economic opportunities.

Volunteering: is the backbone of all Glenelg Shire communities. It helps people to develop their skills, connects residents to those around them and creates stronger, healthier communities. We support volunteering throughout our municipality in many ways:

• We hold Volunteer Recognition Receptions each May during National Volunteers week.

• We have devised a Volunteer Strategy to help sustain and strengthen volunteering in the Glenelg Shire.

• We encourage prospective volunteers and community organisations looking for volunteers to find each other by using the on-line Victorian Volunteering Portal (www.volunteer.vic.gov.au).

We offer volunteering opportunities to community members who would like to help out in our libraries, our aged-care services and in our visitor information centres.

We provide training workshops for volunteers and volunteer coordinators at different times throughout the year.
