Melville Cares & Western Suburbs Cares - The Heart of Community Care We believe older people's lives should be as fulfilling as at any stage of life. Our home cares services make it easier for older people to live an independent and a connected life from the comfort and safety of their own home.

We've been busy in the garden at the Friendship Club! A big thank you to valued member Lee for generously donating her beautiful ponytail tree, and to everyone who rolled up their sleeves to help dig and plant it.

We enjoyed getting out in the garden and sharing ideas, while creating a welcoming outdoor space.🪴🪴

Music has always played a big part in the life of Melville Cares client and Consumer Committee Member Bobbie.

Through her volunteer work with people living with dementia and their carers, Bobbie continues to see the difference music can make - creating moments of connection, joy and belonging.

In this lovely profile by the City of Melville, Bobbie shares her volunteering journey and why helping others through music remains such a rewarding part of her life.

Thank you, Bobbie, for the care, energy and enthusiasm you bring to our community.
