No, there is no fee to be a participant with Get Connected, but some of the activities that people we have to connect people with may have a fee.

Send an email to getconnected@cch.org.au with your activity details and we will follow up with you.

As this is a pilot, we are limited in how many people we can support, therefore can only accept referrals for people who live in Mount Alexander Shire and access the program via the GPs at Goldfields Medical group or one of our other referrers (link?)

Please contact us via getconnected@cch.org.au to register your interest and we will follow up with you.

There are many things happening in our shire!  The best sources of activity information are: the Mail and Express newspapers; community noticeboards at IGA and Stoneman’s Bookroom window; e-newsletters from Mount Alexander Shire Council, Castlemaine Community House, Maldon Neighbourhood Centre and U3A.
