Dovida Brisbane South & Redlands

Energise and Socialise is fun and informative and provides an opportunity for older people to meet new people and make new friends. 

The program enables and supports participants through a carefully designed blend of physical activity, socializing & education that takes place across a 12-month period in four blocks of 8 weeks each.

2-hour sessions are delivered in the same venue on the same day and at the same time each week, with the first hour consisting of low-level exercise delivered circuit style with great music in a vibrant, fun-filled environment. 

Designed and implemented by qualified clinicians, participants complete a health assessment prior, and are monitered at each session, with exercises amended, replaced or varied according to each individual's capacity, so every participant is provided with maximum benefit. 

The second hour provides the opportunity for relationships to grow and extend with morning tea provided in a self-serve style setting that encourages participants to mingle, followed by 20-minute education sessions relating to a broad range of topics that affect older people ranging from digital enablement and SCAMS to dementia and eye health.
