Community Services
Engaging in community service has a number of positive benefits for individuals and the society at large. Council is committed to providing tailored support services and facilities that help connect people, improve social inclusion, personal knowledge and interpersonal communication skills.
Community Transport
If you need help getting to appointments and activities, then the Barossa and Light Community Transport might be a good option for you. Services include a Door-to-Door Shopping Bus and Community Cars.
The Barossa and Light Community Transport service was set up in 1992 to help transport residents of the Barossa Council and Light Regional Council that do not have a licence, access to a car, or are unable to drive because of age or health.
To find out more, or to book, visit the Barossa Council website.
Home Assistance
If you need some help around the house, then the Barossa and Light Home Assist might be a good option for you. Services include cleaning, gardening, gutter cleaning, and window washing. To use this service, you must be:
- 65 years and over; or 50 years and over for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, and
- registered and referred by My Aged Care.
The Barossa and Light Home Assist is a program that helps people living within the area remain living safely in their own home so they can continue to enjoy their independence and quality of life.

Light Regional Council’s Disability Access and Inclusion Plan 2025-2029 (DAIP) provides guidance for improving access and inclusion across the Light region for all persons.
The DAIP has been prepared in accordance with The SA Disability Inclusion Act 2018 after the release of the State Disability Inclusion Plan 2025-2029 on 14 August 2025, requiring all State Authorities including Councils to develop a DAIP that aligns with the priorities in the State Plan for the 2025-2029 period.
Light Regional Council’s DAIP was approved on 24 February 2026 following a public consultation process.
