Welcome to the Somerset Community Services at Fernvale.

Disability Services:

Local people who are living with a disability can attend our Fernvale centre to enjoy meaningful activities, socialise, enjoy recreational outings and develop life skills. Our life skills development program includes cooking, healthy eating and computer skills development as well as activities such as craft and gentle exercise. Our regular outings include bowling, swimming and the movies.

Senior Services:

Our day activity program based at our centre in Fernvale gives older people who are living independently but are frail and socially isolated the opportunity to participate in meaningful and enjoyable activities with others their same age.
