Doug Launceston, January 2018
"Local service is the best thing and I first learned that from owning service stations and a real estate business in Launceston"
It was Doug's daughter who first contacted Community Care TASMANIA almost two years ago now.
"From the beginning Community Care TASMANIA staff were prompt and friendly...and they were local!!"
Doug gets cleaning services as well as support for social outings and is very happy with the quality and professionalism of the services.
"They call me regularly which is great."
"Service and courtesy costs nothing and Community Care TASMANIA gives both."
"I have been surprised to learn that old fashioned service was still alive and well."
Doug - Launceston, January, 2018
