If you, or someone you know, would enjoy seeing a friendly visitor once a fortnight who will come to your home and spend quality time with you, please reach out to STAR. Your STAR Friend will be matched with you based on your interests and hobbies.

You can choose to simply

  • enjoy a cuppa and chat

  • go for a walk or an outing in the community

  • play games together such as cards and chess

  • arts and crafts

  • rekindle old hobbies

  • cook your favourite meals together or have fun exploring new recipes.

The service is available in Toowoomba, Darling Downs, Ipswich & West Moreton, Brisbane South / Redlands and Logan. If you are a home care package client or are on the waitlist for a home care package, please call Jessy Byrnes at STAR on (07) 3821 6699 or email starfriends@starct.org.au.
