NovaLife – Our Social Support Services
What’s life without fun, learning, friendship and food?
Social, physical, and creative pursuits are good for body and soul and NovaCare has many to keep life interesting.
You can choose one on one social support where we can take you out in private vehicles for perhaps a coffee, accompany you to Saturday morning sport with the grandkids, go to church or bowls, or attend a function or special event.
And don’t forget, you are always welcome at our social centres!
NovaCare Social Centres
Head to our Milpara Merewether, Swansea, Morisset or Taylors Beach social centres where you can meet a friend for a cuppa, take part in a special interest group or exercise class, maybe even learn some new technology.
You might decide to head out somewhere nice for lunch or come on a fabulous outing. Every day brings something new.
General Exercise Programs
We have a range of gentle exercise programs led by accredited instructors that build strength, mobility and balance.
They include Healthy Moves; Strength, Balance and Relax; and Aqua Aerobics.
Outings
Enjoy a huge variety of outings and day trips with home pick ups in our own NovaCare mini-bus, chauffeured by a friendly driver and surrounded by friendly faces.

Personal Goals and Projects
NovaCare is here to support each individual to live their way.
Perhaps you don’t want to be in a group, sometimes projects are more personal. It could be painting, writing your memoirs or even having your poetry published.
We discovered Brenda Bryant’s beautiful poetry skills when she read a poem about her little Buddy at Sing Out Loud Together. With over 4,000 poems on her blog, we thought it was time for a book.

Cycling Without Age
The right to wind in your hair.
NovaCare initiated the Hunter region chapters for this international movement that helps people experience the joy of cycling again.
It was created in Denmark with a dream of “creating a world together, in which access to active citizenship creates happiness among our fellow elderly citizens by providing them with an opportunity to remain an active part of society.”
Now in countries throughout the world, volunteer pilots take their passengers for bike rides in cleverly designed trishaws. We get people outside to enjoy the fresh air and their community around them.
Connect with Online Services
Welcome the world into your home by connecting with our Virtual Day Centre. NovaConnect offers wonderful experiences like exercise, shopping, music and travel from the comfort of your own home. We’ll show you how.
ActiveStrongerBetter
ActiveStrongerBetter is a growing program in the Newcastle and Hunter region, offering low to moderate intensity exercise classes for older adults that promote independence, confidence, health and well-being. the program is supported by NSW Health and managed by Hunter Ageing Alliance and NovaCare Community Services.
