Get together with those in the Village!

Are you 55 years or older, residing in the Macedon Ranges and looking to connect with others in the shire?

Village Connect supports you to connect by providing:

  • community information sessions with guest speakers and presenters on hot topics
  • coffee catch-up gatherings in local towns and villages
  • information about programs, events and health and wellbeing services for over 55s.

Community Connector

Your Community Connector is here to support residents aged 65 and over (or 50+ for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples) to stay engaged, connected, and informed within your local community.

Whether you’ve recently moved, are feeling disconnected, or don’t have family or other supports at home, our Community Connector can help you build connections and access the right services in your community.

How We Can Help

Our Community Connector can assist you to:

  • Connect with local services, programs, and support networks.
  • Share information about council events, activities, and community projects.
  • Support your participation in community life - whether you’re new, isolated, or unsure where to start.
  • Link you with community groups and organisations to promote better health and wellbeing.
  • Help you access volunteering opportunities and use local facilities.
  • Guide you through My Aged Care and Support at Home pathways.

A Free and Accessible Service

This is a free service. No referral is required.
