Meals on Wheels

Our friendly volunteers deliver meals to people who have difficulty preparing or shopping for food, or where a person requires additional support to access nutritious food.

All meals are nutritionally balanced, and can cater for people with special dietary needs or allergies. The menu offers a range of choices, including two or three course meals, salads, sandwiches, soups and desserts.

Meals can be delivered as fresh and ready to eat, or frozen for future use.

If you are over 65 years of age (over 50 years for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people) please call the Australian Government My Aged Care Contact Centre on 1800 200 422 (Monday to Friday from 8 am to 8 pm and Saturday from 10 am to 2 pm) or visit myagedcare.gov.au.

Translated information is also available on the My Aged Care website in Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Arabic, Croatian, Greek, Italian, Korean, Polish, Serbian, Spanish, Vietnamese, Dutch, German, Hindi, Hungarian, Maltese, Macedonian and Russian.

Translation and Interpreter Services are available by calling 131 450 (TIS National). Ask TIS to telephone Knox City Council on (03) 9298 8000.

If you are under 65 years of age (under 50 years for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people) please visit In-Home Services for people under 65.
