Many people dislike preparing a meal to eat by themselves. As eating is an important social activity, the Addie Mills Centre provides a midday meal Monday to Friday so that seniors and people with a disability can enjoy the company of others.
Bookings for lunch are essential, so to avoid disappointment you are required to book before 10:30am on the day you would like to come in.
Subsidised meal prices are offered to customers assessed as being eligible for the Commonwealth Home Support program.
