Community Support
For more than 30 years, Community Support has responded to the urgent needs of people living with HIV. The program has expanded to offer support services to members of the LGBTIQ+ community who are not HIV-positive as well.
Community Support's LGBTIQ+ Services:
RAINBOW CONNECTION
Rainbow Connection is aimed at reducing social isolation among older members of the LGBTIQ+ community.
Community Support volunteers can help in many ways, including visits to client homes, meal preparation, outings to see a movie or to have a coffee and a chat.
Any person in the LGBTIQ+ community who is aged 65 or over may apply for support from Rainbow Connection, whether they are living in their own home or an aged care facility.
For more information call (03) 9863 0426 or email support@thorneharbour.org
NDIS
