Supporting you to keep your Independence…
Tamborine Mountain Community Care Association Inc. was established in 1992 to provide care for its clients (residents on Tamborine Mountain), by providing certain services so that the latter could remain living independently in their homes with dignity, after they have completed 65 years of age.
TMCCA receives funds to provide these services through the Australian Federal Government, Department of Health and Aging (DoHA). In addition, TMCCA accepts donations and raises money through fundraising which is used to support training programs for staff and volunteers and to fund capital projects.
Services offered under the Commonwealth Home Support Program, which is now set to continue until at least 1 July 2027, include Transport, Social Support Group, Social Support Individual, Domestic Assistance, Gardening and Allied Health (Podiatry).
TMCCA is a non-government, not-for-profit organisation run by an elected Management Committee of volunteers, which aims to promote collaborative working relationships with the Federal and State governments and members of the local and wider community.
TMCCA members include local residents, volunteers and clients. Membership does not entitle members eligibility to receive services; this is determined through assessment by My Aged Care (1300 200 422).
Membership does provide community members with the ability to influence how the services may be provided (subject to funding guidelines) and helps support the organisation to continue providing much needed services to senior members of our community.
Membership is as little as $5 (it is more important to us to have a good number of members than to raise funds for the organisation) for lifetime membership, it provides you a voice and the opportunity to vote on any resolutions at our Annual General Meeting.
Enquiries about becoming a member of a local service organisation are always welcome, a strong membership helps aid the organisation to continue providing essential services to vulnerable members of our community.
