Meals on Wheels Australia Information

Meals on Wheels® is an essential service that supports 200,000 older Australians, people living with disability and the disadvantaged to extend their health and independence. With over 590 services across regional, rural and metropolitan Australia, it is a network without equal. Meals on Wheels® is supported by an incredible 45,000 volunteers, who strengthen communities and make a difference in someone's life every day. Meals on Wheels® is a significant and essential piece of social infrastructure, which reduces the malnutrition risk faced by 1.2 million older Australians, and social isolation risk to one in four who live alone. We enhance lives through the delivery of nourishing meals to maintain health and well-being. And, we offer important social contact; recognise, respond and build people's capacity to meet nutritional and other needs that increase their well-being.
