Community Connections

Using the power of community to help us connect & thrive

Community Connections is a Department of Human Services funded program that supports people to build stronger social and community connections, which can improve quality of life and provide better health outcomes.

The Australian Institute of Health and Welfare estimates that around one in ten people experience social isolation. This has a negative effect on people's mental and physical health, and their ability to participate in the community.

Who Community Connections is for

Community Connections is open to people living on the Lower Eyre Peninsula, who:

• are aged 18 to 64

• need short-term support to improve independence or to develop or maintain connections with support networks

• are not already supported by federal programs such as National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) or My Aged Care.

Current Community Connections activities include:

• Cooking Group (currently at capacity)

• Casual Conversations, Tuesdays 4-6pm, Port Lincoln Youth Hub

• Games Group, Thursdays 12-4:30pm, Port Lincoln Youth Hub

• Dads Group, every third Friday of the month, 10am-12pm, Unity Hill
