Program Overview
Support for everyday life, connection and lasting contribution
The ANCIM Seniors Program is designed for community members aged 60 and above. It combines practical support with social connection, recognising that seniors need reliable information, accessible activities, companionship and meaningful ways to remain involved.
Family members may also use the page to request transportation, find healthcare and housing resources, register a senior for activities, or contact the program team.
“Our elders carry experience, language, history and wisdom. The program honours that contribution while making sure no senior feels isolated or unsupported.”
