St Carthage's Community Care Seniors Day Club has delivered quality social support services for over 35 years. Serving older people throughout the Lismore Local Government Area and surrounding towns and villages, the club promotes wellbeing through engaging activities, social interaction, and strong community connections.
The Day Club delivers a supportive and welcoming environment where participants can socialise, participate in activities, and enjoy nutritious meals prepared by our dedicated staff and volunteers. Centre-based programs and social outing groups are also offered, supporting community engagement across the Northern Rivers.
Research shows that staying socially connected supports both physical and emotional health and wellbeing.
Our goal is to provide meaningful social opportunities where participants can connect with others, build new friendships, and explore different areas of the North Coast. For some, it may simply be a chance to get out, relax, and enjoy a friendly chat over a cup of tea.
To participate in any of our Seniors Day Clubs, please ensure you meet the following criteria:
- You are registered with My Aged Care and possess a current referral or referral code or utilise funds from your current provider.
- You are aged 65 years or older (or 50 years or older if from an Indigenous background).

Monday, Wednesday and Thursday
Our centre-based groups, held on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays, offer a welcoming and engaging environment filled with fun, laughter, movement, and meaningful activities in our purpose-built facility. Each day begins with morning tea, followed by a variety of engaging activities, a nutritious lunch with dessert, and an afternoon of continued enjoyment. For eligible participants, convenient transport to and from the centre is available.
Tuesday
Our Tuesday Men's Bus group looks forward to their weekly outings, enjoying meaningful social connection and shared experiences. Participants are collected from their homes and taken to beautiful destinations throughout the Northern Rivers region, where they enjoy morning tea and lunch together. At the end of the day, they are returned home. The men value the strong sense of community and social involvement, and they play an active role in choosing their weekly destinations
Alternatively, we offer a small Tuesday centre-based group focused on supporting independence while fostering meaningful social connections in a welcoming and supportive environment.
Friday
We offer two Friday social outing groups each month. On the first Friday, our Ladies' Group enjoys a Mass service with Father Philip Bola, followed by morning tea at the Centre. Members then take part in a scenic drive and enjoy lunch at one of the Northern Rivers' local dining venues.
On the fourth Friday, our mixed social group for men and women comes together for morning tea at the Centre before heading out to enjoy lunch in the local community.
