Escorted shopping is usually undertaken and booked with the same volunteer at regular intervals either weekly or fortnightly, as the consumer desires.
Escorted medical appointments support the consumer in whatever way they desire to assist in a positive outcome from a medical appointment thus providing better health outcomes for our consumers and ensuring that they can continue to live independently. Medical appointments cover the following: doctor/specialist, pharmacist/chemist, podiatrist, pathology, radiography, physiotherapy, chiropractor.
