Support for Bayside residents

We are here to support our residents through the COVID-19 outbreak. 

Council support in your home

We provide a range of services designed to support older residents, or the person you care for, to stay active and independent for as long as possible:

  • Meals and shopping
  • Transport
  • Cleaning assistance
  • Showering and hygiene assistance
  • Safety related home maintenance
  • Respite care.

Our staff adhere to strict health and hygiene guidelines as outlined by the Department of Health. Contact us on 9599 4444 to find out more about these services.

Shopping

If you have family, friends or neighbours who can shop for you, please utilise their support. 

Family and friends can also help you to order shopping online to be delivered to your door. You can ask that your shopping is left at the door to minimise contact with other people.

We can also shop for you. Contact Council on 9599 4444 to arrange this service.

Never share your bank or credit cards details with strangers.

Online shopping

There are a number of online shopping options:

  • Woolworths online shopping
  • Coles online shopping
  • IGA  or call 1800 018 384

We can also assist you to register for priority online shopping services. Contact us on 9599 4444 for assistance.
