Delivery
How frequently does Meals on Wheels Central Coast deliver meals?
We deliver meals to our clients 5 days per week, Monday through Friday. Meals are delivered between 9am and 12pm and our clients need to be home to accept the delivery.
What happens if I miss my delivery?

To find out if you, a relative or someone you care for is eligible please contact us on 02 4357 8444.
How much do meals cost?
Every effort is made to keep meals as affordable as possible, particularly as many of our clients are pensioners. Pricing is different depending on whether or not you are a CHSP client, SAH or NDIS client. We also offer Private Client pricing for those who would like to access our service but do not have a My Aged Care Number.
The generosity of our volunteers, who give their time to help deliver the meals, means we are able to provide a vital service at an economical price.
