G’day line counselling service shutdown

Due to the Department of Social Services ending the Seniors Connected program, the G’day Line will no longer be resourced, and the nationwide telephone support service will end on September 30, 2024.

While this marks the end of one chapter, the development of a new resource, Community and Connections, is underway.

This digital resource aims to continue supporting older community members by providing a comprehensive directory of services and programs dedicated to enhancing social connections and combating isolation. Additionally, telephone support will still be offered to G’day Line callers through the request-a-call-back service.

Support for the G’day Line program to date has been highly valued. As the transition to this new resource takes place, services are invited to be featured on the Community and Connections page.
