Strength Program Fees and Eligibility for Subsidised Rates

All Strength participants are required to pay the full program fee at the time of registration.

To qualify for the government-subsidised rate, you must meet all of the following eligibility criteria:

• Be over 65 years of age
• Be a Boroondara resident
• Be registered with My Aged Care (or agree to register)
• Agree to be registered with Boroondara Council

If you meet all of the above criteria, you will receive a refund for the subsidised difference once your eligibility has been confirmed. This will be processed in week 3 of the term.

All other participants are required to pay the full fee. Please note, the full fee is still significantly cheaper than our other health and wellbeing classes.
