Tamborine Mountain Community Care Assn Inc

Tamborine Mountain Community Care Assn Inc (TMCCA) is a not-for-profit, non-government community care organisation established in 1992 to help frail, aged and disabled residents of Tamborine Mountain, Queensland, remain living independently in their own homes. It is run by an elected volunteer management committee and funded through the Australian Federal Government's Department of Health and Ageing, supplemented by donations and fundraising. Services are designated low care and include domestic assistance, home maintenance, podiatry, social support (group and individual), and transport, all aimed at preventing or delaying early admission to residential aged care. Fees apply but are subsidised by federal government funding, and referrals to higher-level care providers can be arranged when needs exceed TMCCA's scope.
