Murray Mallee Aged Care Group Inc. (MMACG) was formed in 1994 after a group of community members recognised that there was a desperate need for specialized in-home services for ageing people in the rural and remote regions of the Murray Mallee area. At the time nine local councils came together to address the districts needs and with an agreement of each council, an autonomous, not for profit organisation began. The first application to the Federal Government for Community Aged Care Packages (CACP’s) was successful in securing 20 packages. From July 2015, the packages are known as Consumer Directed Care Home Care Packages (HCP's). Today Murray Mallee Aged Care Group Inc. operates 136 funded CDC Home Care Packages which includes Aboriginal specific Packages. MMACG conducts social day activity programs “Kaleidescape”, to the local communities of Murray Bridge, Mypolonga, Tailem Bend and Mannum. With the success of our Assistive Technology Research Project we now provide Seniors Education Programs throughout the Murray Mallee region. “MMACG” appoints the services of approximately 60 Support Workers and employs 15 staff. Until 2005 offices were located at the Murray Lands Retirement Village. Today our Administration office is located at 2a Myall Avenue, Murray Bridge, providing a modern, accessible 'open door' environment. There is also a fully equipped separate Meeting/Training Centre that is available for community use.
