Who we are

Hawkesbury Neighbour Aid, established in 1990, has been supporting individuals in the Hawkesbury area for 34 years. Funded by the Department of Health and Ageing, we provide social support to help people live independently at home with the assistance of our trained staff and dedicated volunteers. Our goal is to prevent or delay admission to aged care facilities.

  • One-on-one shopping and appointments
  • Social home visits
  • Support in navigating the aged care system and available resources
