Gracie Dixon Centre

Bundaberg Regional Council operates the Gracie Dixon Centre from 9am to 3pm, Mondays to Fridays. The Centre provides an enjoyable social program for its members who are frail aged. The program which includes music, concerts, quizzes, cards, exercises, outings for drives & BBQ's is designed to maintain, develop and support the capacity for independent living and social interaction. Morning Tea & two-course midday meal are provided.

Carers also benefit by receiving much needed respite from their caring role. The Centre can arrange transport, if required, and offers its member's services including hairdressing and referral to other organisations.
