When you join one of our Social Centres, we take the time to understand your personal goals and interests. Our programs are flexible and designed to include:

From cultural festivals to our annual seated volleyball tournaments, there’s always something happening to keep you involved. 

Our trained staff are dedicated to creating and implementing activity programs that align with your interests and abilities, ensuring every visit is meaningful.  

What It Costs 

At Bethanie Social Centres, we believe that everyone should have access to social engagement and support. Clients may be eligible to attend through government-subsidised programs, making participation more accessible. 

Attendance at our Social Centres is available for clients who qualify for government funding through My Aged Care , as well as for private fee-paying clients.  

Funding options: 

• Commonwealth Home Support Program (CHSP) – If you are eligible for CHSP, the government will subsidise the majority of your fees and you will only have to pay a small contribution toward the gap. 
• Home Care Package – If you are on a Home Care Package you can use this funding to cover your Social Centre attendance 
• Private payment – If you are not eligible for either CHSP or a Home Care Package, you can still attend our Social Centres via a Private Payment option.  

If you’re unsure about your eligibility for funding or want to explore your options, please contact Bethanie on 131 151. Our team is here to assist you and provide the information you need to make the most of our Social Centre services. 

At Bethanie Social Centres,  we’re  committed to making your experience enjoyable and fulfilling. Join us today and discover the joy of community connection!
