A volunteer-based organisation that provides support to older people and people with disability

South Port Day Links (SPDL) is a local not for profit, volunteer based organisation that has been delivering services to older people, people with a disability and those who care for them who are residents of the City of Port Phillip (CoPP) for nearly thirty (30) years. Our mission is to improve the lives of older people and people with a disability by providing a range of community transport and support programs to enable independent living. The services provided by SPDL enable local residents to remain socially connected, independent and to continue living in their homes. We do this by providing a door to door community transport service within the CoPP to access health appointments, recreational, shopping and other activities essential to everyday living and personal well-being. Other companion services and programs available to clients are: PetMates(assistance with looking after pets), WalkMates (assistance for those who have difficulty walking on their own), GardenMates (assistance for those unable to do their gardening).

A HUGE shout-out to our fantastic Mates volunteers! 💙

Thank you for all the care, kindness and support you bring to people in our community.

From helping our clients maintain their gardens and walking their dogs to providing companionship and a friendly face, your dedication makes a real difference.

Thanks to your help and commitment, SPDL can continue to support older people and people with disability to live independently and stay connected to their community.

It was wonderful to see so many of you at our latest Mates Meet-Up and hear your inspiring stories and experiences. 🥰
You are all amazing, and we’re so grateful to have you as part of the SPDL family! 🙌💙

"My mother-in-law, Sherrill, is a regular user of DayLinks and today she was picked up in one of the new cars. She was very happy and surprised."

We are so pleased to hear that our new look is bringing joy, not only to us, but our clients.

Your sponsorship doing double duty!

Clemens Unger, SPDL General Manager and Kristy McCrae, Branch Manager, posing with SPDL1's fresh new look! 🚐✨

Thanks to the generous sponsorship of Bendigo Community Bank Elwood, our first Hyundai Staria is now proudly showcasing the new South Port Day Links vehicle design.

The wrap highlights the many ways SPDL supports our community — from Day Links transport to Garden Mates, Walk Mates and Pet Mates — while QR codes make it easy for anyone interested in volunteering to find out more.

A huge thank you to Bendigo Community Bank Elwood for helping us raise our visibility on the road and spread the word about the work of SPDL.

Keep an eye out for SPDL1 around Port Phillip — we think it’s looking pretty sharp!
