Camden Meals on Wheels: Caring For You and Your Family
From humble beginnings at the Camden Hospital, Camden Meals on Wheels has expanded and evolved. We are based on Little Street in Camden with our own food preparation and storage facility. We provide a range of healthy, nutritious food options and can cater to your dietary requirements. Our diverse menu has something to appeal to every taste (for even the most fussy eaters!)
Caring for Camden is givingĀ more than just a meal.Ā Some of our clients have referred to us as their extended family. We look after each other, often enjoying each other’s company, having social gatherings and checking in just to say hello.

Meals
Camden Meals on Wheels famously relies on local volunteers to drive operations in all areas. This could involve delivering meals, visiting clients, local transport and assisting with our regular events. Without our local volunteers, this vital service would not have continued so successfully in Camden since 1970.
Social Support
The meal mates program has been running since 2013. The program is designed to connect volunteers with clients of Meals on Wheels, in a way that fosters friendship and care.Ā The program is multi-faceted, it helps those people who may be socially isolated or would just love some company. We found that both the volunteer and client benefit.
Transport
We know that sometimes it can be difficult to get around town on your own and that public transport is not suitable for everybody. Camden Meals on Wheels provides a local transport service for eligible clients in the local area. Our transport services support older residents of the Camden Local Government Area.
More than just a meal
Why Access Meals on Wheels?
Camden Meals on Wheels enables frail older people and younger people with disabilities and their carers to remain in their own homes and enjoy a level of independence and style of living to suit their individual needs.
While aged care or other support may be needed later, Meals on Wheels provides a way for people to stay in the comfort of a familiar home environment for as long as possible.
Who is Eligible for Meals on Wheels?
The Commonwealth Home Support Programme will recognise people with cultural or other special needs with appropriate services which reflect the diversity of the population.
The Commonwealth Home Support Programme recognises special needs groups, which align with those identified under the Aged Care Act 1997.Ā Please contact our office for a confidential discussion on eligibility (02) 4655 6822.
