Brotherhood of St Laurence - Coolibah Centre Fitzroy

The Coolibah Centre is a day centre that encourages independence and good living for its members in a caring and home-like environment.
We help our members to be healthy and active and to enjoy life to the full in a friendly and relaxing environment.
We encourage and help members to pursue their interests and passions, both at our centre and out in the community. The Coolibah Centre arranges regular group excursions in our bus to restaurants, shops, the beach, festivals and other attractions.
Our skilled staff all recognise that people have different strengths and abilities and they always look for new approaches to meet the needs of each individual.
This includes assisting members, who are all older people or people living with a disability, to deal with government agencies and other organisations and advocate on their behalf if necessary.
From our own kitchen we serve breakfast, lunch and afternoon tea each day. The kitchen is also the home base for our cooking groups, whose members learn to prepare tasty, nutritious and low-cost meals.
The many other interests our members pursue include gardening in the Coolibah’s vegetable patch, painting classes, computer training, sewing group, table tennis, pool, exercise sessions, dance classes and the annual Coolibah Ball.
We also celebrate many festivals and other events throughout the year, including Christmas, the lunar New Year, Easter, Mothers Day and Fathers Day, Reconciliation Week and the AFL grand final.
