Journey Through
IC Care's Rich History
Previously known as the Picton/Burragorang Meals on Wheels, in 1974 a group of community minded people got together to establish the service and the first meal was delivered on July 1st, 1974. For the next 16 years, a voluntary management committee looked after the operation, delivering meals to Picton, Tahmoor, Bargo and Thirlmere. In 1992, the Department of Community Services, approached the Picton Meals on Wheels committee asking if they would be interested in establishing a local social support for individuals (Neighbour Aid service). Some excess funds had become available and the department wanted to use them for such a service and was looking for someone to manage the funding. The committee agreed to be the auspice for these funds. Picton Neighbour Aid Service began with the employment of a coordinator in July 1992. Over the years the group sizes increased, and an additional group was set up, based at Bargo and Appin. In 2006 consultation regarding WSACCI began with all services and home and community care with a view to amalgamate. After much consideration the project was given the green light to proceed for people (aged 65 years and over; 50 and over for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people) who require assistance with daily living to remain living independently at home and in the community.
