Positive Ageing Lifestyle Program - Winter 2009

A Word about PALS Program

PALs events program is sent out quarterly to over 1200 mailing addresses on the older Adults database. it is a Positive Ageing Program aimed towards promoting healthy, active ageing.

Participants must be in a position to get themselves to and from activities and participate without assistance on the day.
Who can attend the PALS events?

Any older adults (55 + years) living in the City of Monash can attend any of the PALS programs.
A range of interesting & exciting activities awaits you. If you have never been involved in the program before now is the time!

Do I need to book into an Activity?

Each event will have an advertised booking date, time and phone number. No bookings will be taken prior to this date.

Phone Bookings

Each month is allocated a date, time and phone number for you to call. With the one phone call you are able to book into more than one of the activities organised for that particular month.

Please note - some activities may require a ballot booking or may have different booking instructions. Please read the program carefully.
Ballot Bookings

Due to the popular demand of the day trips all bookings are via a ballot system. Where applicable, a ballot slip for each trip will be included in the pals booklet. You need to fill in and return the ballot by the specified date. Once your ballot is received, it goes into a ballot box. Ballots are randomly selected until we have filled the trip.

* Please note: Ballot forms are compared to a 'Trip register'. If you were on the previous trip your ballot will be put aside to allow a chance to another applicant.
Is there any cost?
Most of the activities are FREE, however trips, movies and some courses may include a small fee.

Check the program for more details. Failure to provide seven working days notification or a doctors certificate (if less than seven working days Notice) for cancellation of day trips, an invoice will be issued to you at the full cost - not the subsidised cost.
