Building a capable community is a process intended to achieve the wellbeing of its members across varied aspects of their lives such as, health, education, financial, social, cultural, to name a few. To achieve this, organisations that facilitate the meeting of specific requirements, in keeping with the law of the land, are formed which are responsible for ensuring community members’ needs are met, to the best possible degree.

TMCCA is one such organisation, established in 1992 to provide care for senior residents living independently on Tamborine Mountain. In addition to being funded by the Australian Federal Government – Dept. of Health and Ageing (DoHA), TMCCA also accepts donations to support training programs for staff and volunteers and to fund other projects.

Members (Financial) –
TMCCA members include local residents, volunteers and clients. Anybody can apply to be a member of the association. A healthy number of members ensures a viable organisation. Membership cost is low with a minimum donation of just $5 for life membership.
