• Thanks for your interest in our Friendly Assistance Program. This program will provide support for vulnerable older people in our community.  Please complete the below form to register your interest.

    Age Matters is the only organisation in the Illawarra that specifically supports the needs of vulnerable older people who face homelessness, loneliness and joblessness. Our clients are all over 55 with limited or no supports in place to guide them through this COVID-19 pandemic.

    Did you know that older people and people with compromised immune systems or chronic illness are most at risk from COVID-19? A number of our clients are especially vulnerable due to having more than one of these risks factors.

    Age Matters’ Friendly Assistance Program will ensure support for those in most need in our community. ank you so much for your commitment to our local community, especially in these difficult and uncertain times for us all.
