Day Club programs

Day Clubs provide opportunities for the aged, the isolated, people with disabilities, carers and volunteers, to develop and maintain social contact outside the home through activities such as games, sports, fitness, information sessions and arts and crafts.

The Day Clubs program is run nationally and is administered and operated by DVA and ex-service organisations. Each club tailors its activities to the interests and skills of the clubs' members.
