Anyone can make a referral, the person themselves, relatives, hospitals, doctors or even a caring friend. All meal recipients are assessed for eligibility by the Meal Service Coordinator using the Home and Community Care (HACC) criteria. Visit the Seniors page to find out more about HACC.

A nutritionally balanced hot three course meal is delivered by volunteers Monday to Friday and frozen meals are available if required for weekends and public holidays.

Meals cost $6.00 per person per day. Special dietary requirements are catered for.

Want to Volunteer?

Both services operate with two suitably qualified paid staff and a very large volunteer contingent. Some volunteers assist in the kitchens helping with meal preparation and service while others deliver the meals.
All volunteers receive lunch and drivers using their own vehicles get a petrol subsidy. If you would like to become a Meals on Wheels Volunteer, please visit the City of Melville's Volunteer Resource Centre page.
