Connector Points
Connector Points are Identified community organisations can provide face-to-face or telephone assistance for improving social connections and reducing social isolation of older people, particularly those without internet access. The Connector Points built sustainability for the program beyond the pilot period. You can access a community connector points on the My Health Connector website. The success of this Hawkesbury pilot project has resulted in the program expanding to the Blue Mountains, Lithgow and Penrith LGAs and ongoing in Hawkesbury.
EOI: Connector Point in Pharmacy
We are inviting pharmacies in the Blue Mountains, Hawkesbury, Lithgow and Penrith local government areas to join our Connector Point in Pharmacy Program, aimed at helping older adults remain socially connected. Pharmacies can participate by completing training and engaging in social prescribing activities to support patients dealing with loneliness and social isolation. The EOI will close on 18 November 2024.
