An opportunity to connect with service providers and learn about the services and supports available within Brimbank will be possible at the upcoming Brimbank Disability, Seniors & Carers Expo.
This year’s event is set for May 30 from 10am to 2pm located at the Keilor Basketball & Netball Stadium on Stadium Drive.
There will be 80 exhibitors representing a wide range of supports and services, from NDIS providers and Aged Care services to mental health & wellbeing, financial and legal assistance, Home Care package providers, and more.
A member of Brimbank’s Active Seniors Reference Group, Joan Ellis said the expo has been instrumental in informing people about the different supports and service providers available locally.
“As you age, you need more support, and it’s hard to find that support on your own, but this expo has really helped me with that,” Ms. Ellis said.
“As an active person, I found different activities people can join in on, like craft, cooking, or sports. There’s a place for everyone.”
Ms. Ellis added that the event provides an opportunity to get informed, gain education, and grow a bigger support network.
“People went home with better ideas, new providers, friendships, and a larger network. It was all gathered in one spot, and people were more informed.”
Food and beverages will be available for purchase. Please contact us to discuss transport or access requirements you may have via CommunitySupport@brimbank.vic.gov.au or give us a call at 9249 4000.
