Tamborine Mountain Community Care Ass’n Inc. (TMCCA) was established in 1993 to provide care for residents on Tamborine Mountain so that they can remain living independently in their homes. TMCCA receives funds to provide services from the Commonwealth Government to deliver services under the Commonwealth Home Support Program (CHSP). In addition, TMCCA accepts donations and raises money through fundraising, which is used to support training programs for staff and volunteers, ensuring the latest information and most up-to-date practices are employed in delivering the services.

Services funded by Government and delivered by TMCCA under specific guidelines include:
- Social Support Individual – helping with paperwork, shopping, banking or to attend an appointment.
- Social Support Group – structured group activities to develop, maintain or support the capacity for independent living and social interaction.
- Transport – assistance provided so that the client may attend medical appointments.
- Home Maintenance (garden care) – basic maintenance to make safe the immediate area around the home environment.
- Domestic Assistance – domestic chores including cleaning, washing and ironing.
- Alllied Health – Podiatry

In addition to these funded services, TMCCA also have for hire, independent living aids such as wheelchairs, walkers, crutches, shower chairs, toilet seats etc; all at very reasonable rates.
As a local employer and community contributor, we rely on the goodwill of community members to ensure our aged community can remain living in their own homes. Volunteers enhance the delivery of those much-needed services and assist in a number of varied roles which are rewarding and fun. If you have some free time and would like to make a difference in people’s lives, please contact our Volunteer Co-ordinator, Patricia Arora, for further information.

Residents of the Mountain seeking any of the services highlighted are encouraged to contact the office at 42 Southport Avenue, Tamborine Mountain, or call 5545 4968 for further information. Alternatively, you can call My Aged Care on 1800 200 422 to request an assessment to receive services.
