Day Club programs
Last updated:
4 May 2020
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.
Find a Day Club in your local area
The following information lists Day Clubs registered across Australia.
If there is not a Day Club in your local area, you may wish to get one started. DVA Community Support Advisers can provide you with guidance and advice on the process.
Your local Community Support Adviser's contact details are listed below your State and Territory Day Clubs' listing. Please note that there are no Day Clubs in the Northern Territory.
