Montrose Lifestyle and Short Stay services will re-open later in 2020 subject to circumstances at that time.

The COVID-19 crisis has made it impossible to deliver these services in a way that ensures customer safety and still provide our usual high standard of service. We have therefore paused all Short Stay and face-to-face Lifestyle & Leisure services.

Please be assured that the wider Montrose team is still available for assistance and support. If you have existing therapy appointments, these will continue as planned. Our teams are delivering Occupational Therapy, Speech Pathology and Physiotherapy via TeleTherapy. More information is available here.

So much to choose from!

Lifestyle and Leisure is all about you and getting the most out of life.

Build your confidence with one of our skills based programs and join one of our social groups for some fun! We also have supported holiday options at Our Getaway on the Gold Coast. All programs and activities are accessible under NDIS.
