Community Nexus Disability Services
We arrange social events, recreational activities and excursions for seniors and people with disability in the southern region of Melbourne and on the Mornington Peninsula. Because we believe everyone should live the life they value.
Brotherhood Community Nexus has a long history of assisting people to enjoy active and rewarding social lives.
A range of outdoor activities is offered from sailing, swimming and lawn bowls to photography, gardening, and fishing. Indoor pursuits include arts, crafts and dance. Excursions to cafes, restaurants, the movies and sightseeing attractions are also offered.
Highly qualified and friendly staff are always present to ensure a safe and welcoming experience. We constantly review our activities, based on participants’ feedback, to ensure we deliver interesting, engaging and enhancing programs.
When and where
Some activities are held at our centre at 2–4 Overton Road Frankston, which is open from 9am to 5pm weekdays. Other activities take place out in the community at different times, including over the weekend. We arrange transport to and from the home, and most activities are accessible for those who use wheelchairs..
Carers take a break
We also offer the Nexus Planning Service, which supports older carers of people with disability who need assistance with future planning. This program is short term, between three to six months, and has a strong focus on skills development. Carers are eligible for future planning if:
- they are older than 60,
- or older than 45 and are an Indigenous Australian and,
- they live in the following local government areas:
