Getting older shouldn’t mean losing your independence or quality of life. Local services are available here in the Snowy Monaro to help and support you as you age.

It can be tricky to know where to start, with multiple government agencies offering a variety of services and programs. These sessions will empower you and your family to be able to access support when you need it.

If you can’t make it to the session, our Community Services Support Programs team are available by phone, email, or in person. Contact us for information and assistance.

Call 1300 345 345 or email council@smrc.nsw.gov.au to speak with the team today, or to book a time to come and speak with us in person.
