Locally approved provider of delivered meals for levels 1, 2, 3 & 4 Packages.

How Packages work
Once you are allocated a package you will need to state in your care plan that you wish to have meal services paid for out of your package. Your package provider will then need to contact Wollongong Meals on Wheels or alternatively you can contact our office on (02) 4226 5869 and we can get in contact with your provider to arrange a commencement date.

Please note: NDIS can be Self-Managed or Plan-Managed, we unfortunately at this time can not provide for Agency-Managed NDIS clients.
