Out & about

Out and about, in good company.

A browse through the shops, lunch somewhere lovely, a wander along the Broadwater or an afternoon at the garden centre. The Gold Coast is a beautiful place to enjoy, and it is even better with company.

Colourful fresh produce at a market

Getting out and about keeps life colourful. We plan outings around what you enjoy, at a pace that feels comfortable, whether that is choosing flowers, trying a new café, visiting a favourite park or simply doing the weekly shop with someone to carry the bags.

We also offer company at appointments: getting there calmly, keeping you company in the waiting room and helping you remember what was said, if you would like.

  • Shopping for groceries, gifts, clothes and flowers
  • Cafés, restaurants, lunches and afternoon teas
