The Canterbury Centre is the hub of BASScare activities and is appointed with many facilities which allow us to provide a host of aged care services, including a daily lunch and Meals-on-Wheels from our state-of-the-art kitchen.
It is with regret that for the safety of our clients and staff we have made a decision to temporarily close our community centres (Canterbury Centre and Marwal Centre) as well as our dementia day centre (Maranoa House) effective immediately. This measure will assist in preventing the possible spread of the coronavirus disease. At this time we are not aware of any confirmed cases where a client or staff member has contracted the coronavirus disease.
As you can appreciate this is a very uncertain time for everyone and we will re-commence our services as soon as possible.
Services available from Canterbury Centre include:
On Wednesdays each month a fun Theme Lunch is held. These are special days where everyone is invited to share a glass of wine and a playful quiz and good company.
A healthy varied 3 course meal Monday to Friday, with a choice between two delicious mains. Join Us for a meal at 27 Shierlaw on Sunday. Cost $12.00. Bookings 9880 4709.
A range of films, from classic to modern to popular, to documentaries are shown on Wednesday afternoons, followed by afternoon tea. View our monthly calendar or pick one up from the Canterbury Centre.
The Men’s group provides the opportunity for men to get together and enjoy each others company through social outings. Some of the places we have visited include Kyneton RSL, Badger Creek, Mornington Hotel and Launching Place Hotel, Yarra Valley. Let us know if you’d like to join this friendly mob.
We have a range of exercise classes to suit your needs and activity levels from novice gentle chair-based exercises, to energetic
strength and balance classes.
BASScare offers one-to-one Exercise Physiology (EP) sessions. Our Exercise Physiologist will work with you to assess your health and exercise goals to create a tailored exercise program specific to you.
BASScare’s Falls Prevention program is an exercise and educational program aimed to reducing your risk of a fall. The program includes a pre-course assessment, 14 weekly classes and a post assessment, all conducted by a qualified Exercise Physiologist.
To discuss which physical activity option you are most suited to, or to book in for a class or consultation call our Exercise Co-ordinator & Exercise Physiologist Matthew Azzopardi.

A range of day trips to interesting locations around Melbourne collect those who live independently at home on Tuesdays and Fridays, and if you are a bloke, on Mondays! We are always watching out for new ideas and destinations – let us know if there is a place you’d like to visit and we’ll add it to the itinerary. We accommodate various degrees of mobility, and you are welcome to bring a relative or carer if you wish. Bookings are required.
