The Community Bank Daylesford District has provided funding for Central Highlands Rural Health’s Social Connectivity project which aims to support the social, emotional, cognitive and physical wellbeing of residents through a virtual reality unit.
The unit was recently installed at the Daylesford Health Aged Care facility and is a great source of entertainment for the residents.
On Friday, February 11, branch manager Melanie Tudball and Daylesford District Community Development’s Mark Rak met with residents and staff to get a demonstration on how the technology works and witnessed first-hand the enjoyment it brings.


“What a great use of technology. It was engaging and fun for all. It’s always great to see how much value our community grant program adds to local programs and facilities. The smile on the residents’ faces spoke volumes,” said Ms Tudball.
The Tovertafel unit is interactive technology designed specifically for people living with dementia or an intellectual disability and is enjoyed by all residents. It stimulates social, cognitive and physical engagement for the participants using games that have brightly coloured images and motion sensors.
Funds to purchase the unit were provided by the Community Bank Daylesford District through its grant application process.
