Welcome boost to the NINA team

Northern Illawarra Neighbour Aid (NINA) has two new team members.

Mollie started at NINA as a volunteer and has moved into the transport coordinator role, making bookings for all the individual transport that NINA facilitates. She is also responsible for planning NINA’s regular outings. Although they have been on hold over the past six months, we are happy to say that starting in 2022 NINA will once again be planning fortnightly outings.

Jaclyn has joined the team as our social support coordinator. Jaclyn is responsible for the regular groups that NINA run each week: CAFÉ group in Helensburgh on a Thursday and our Austinmer group of a Tuesday. Jaclyn also facilitates our craft group each Wednesday in Helensburgh.

Existing staff member Fiona has changed her role and is now looking after all our new clients’ referrals and supporting the volunteers. If you are interested in volunteering, please call the office to speak to Fiona.

NINA is available for clients who are eligible for the Commonwealth Home Support Program (CHSP) and Home Care Package program (subject to a needs assessment). If you live in Helensburgh to Thirroul, then you are welcome to join in the NINA activities.

NINA provides a great Meals on Wheels service. All meals are nutritionally balanced.

NINA can also help anyone who is “transport challenged”. All residents over age 18 are eligible for assistance in getting to medical appointments and some other appointments.

Please call NINA on 4294 1900.
