HOW SPDL CAN HELP YOU

  • DayLinks provides door-to-door community transport service within City of Port Phillip and City of Melbourne.

    DayLinks service drives clients to GP visit, hospital appointments and essential errands — trips that other services like taxis or ride-share companies may not accommodate due to the short distances many of the trips our clients need.

  • This program links volunteers who enjoy gardening with older people who need support to maintain their garden.

    Please note:
    The service does not provide lawn mowing, rubbish removal or tree pruning.

  • The PetMates program assists older residents with the care of their animals at home with grooming, dog walking and/or visits to the vet.

  • This program links a suitable volunteer to support older residents who need encouragement and company to go for a walk to maintain their physical fitness.
