Eurocare

EuroCare has been providing community services on behalf of Eurobodalla Shire Council since 1986, and aims to assist eligible community members maintain independence and quality of life.  Approximately 2,200 people receive support from EuroCare at any one time.

Many of the programs in EuroCare are funded by the State and Commonwealth Governments and receive support from Eurobodalla Shire Council.  Programs include community transport, good neighbour service, carer support, respite for carers and people with a disability and much more.  EuroCare co-ordinates youth and family activities, and care for children. 

Depending on the service required, a fee may apply.

EuroCare is the registered business name for the Community Services Group.  The Group also co-ordinates the three shire libraries and includes the development of the Social Plan, Youth Services and Cultural Planning.

The EuroCare Contact Centre handles referrals into Council’s EuroCare Services and responds to requests for information. There are several methods of contact, all ensuring confidentiality:
Telephone 02 4474 1300
Fax:  02 4474 1062
Email:  contactcentre@eurocoast.nsw.gov.au

Once a referral is received, it is considered by a panel of senior staff at a weekly meeting.  This may lead to a client assessment by EuroCare staff, or other action.  It can take several weeks for new client intake, depending on circumstances.  No emergency services are provided.
