Our founder Myer Kangan AO OBE was passionate about helping seniors who are facing "bumps on the road" which make ageing in place difficult.

COA was created to address those "bumps", be it loneliness, inability to prepare a meal on ones own, mobility issues, difficulty cleaning at home, or even difficulty with personal care. Please look under the "Services" tab to fund out about:

Kosher Meals-on-Wheels
Activity Centre
Home Support
Community Outreach
Personal Fall Protection Alarms

A great way to access services and entertainments is to become a COA member so you can enjoy transport to the Centre on Monday and Wednesday, keep up to date with regular newsletters and emails, and your annual membership fee helps support COA so we can provide services for years to come.

If you require urgent help please look at that tab to see what we can do for you.
