Inspiring happy, social and active lifestyles
Country Health Connect understands that staying active and engaged in the community is an important part of remaining well and independent. Maintaining existing friendships and connecting with new people is particularly important in rural areas — we can help you meet and make friends, learn new skills and be more physically active.
We hold activity groups in centres across South Australia, offering everything from arts and crafts and cooking classes to music, dancing, outings and exercise programs. Information sessions are held on topics like technology and nutrition while all of our centres offer nutritious snacks and meals.
Community activities
Many of the Country Health Connect centres are linked with other community services, like men’s sheds, craft groups, women’s groups and special interest groups. You can use these well-established connections to expand your social network and spend time with like-minded people of all ages.
We can help provide transport to the centre and events, linking you to other groups within your area.
Wheelchair accessible buses are available.
