About Us

For more than 60 years, Meals on Wheels has delivered meals to thousands of Queenslanders with a wide variety of support needs. Whilst we’re best known for delivering meals to seniors and other vulnerable groups, Meals on Wheels Mitchelton offers More Than Just A Meal.

Our mission is to empower people to live at home with greater independence. We achieve this by:

• Improving health and wellness through nutritious meals
• Creating regular opportunities to build genuine social connections
• Offering peace of mind to families caring providing care for their loved ones

Meals On Wheels Mitchelton is currently in the process of amalgamating with Meals on Wheels St Lucia to create Meals on Wheels North West – servicing the North West Suburbs of Brisbane. This amalgamation will be finalised over the coming months, with this role initially being employed by Meals on Wheels Mitchelton and continuing under the new entity.

As an organisation, we’re deeply committed to achieving our mission and ensuring the continuity of the Meals on Wheels legacy for generations to come.
