Services Australia’s Mobile Service Centre Kangaroo Paw II is visiting towns in the Limestone Coast.
The pop up centre will offer locals easy access to Centrelink, Medicare, National Disability Insurance Scheme and Department of Veterans’ Affairs services.
Kangaroo Paw II kicked off its visits earlier this week in Coonalpyn and Keith, and today and tomorrow will be at Kingston in the Kingston SE District Hall car park from 9am to 4pm.
On Tuesday it can be accessed at Robe opposite the Visitor Information Centre from 9am to 4pm, followed by Beachport on Wednesday in the Visitor Information Centre car park, also 9am to 4pm.
From there the centre will visit Southend on October 10 in the Southend Community Centre car park, before heading to Millicent on October 11 in the Millicent Civic and Arts Centre car park, both from 9am to 4pm.
Mobile Services Centres are 20 tonne trucks operated by staff from Services Australia, providing regional and rural Australians with friendly face-to-face service and tailored support.
Staff on board this trip can help with Centrelink claims, Medicare registrations and accessing online services.
Information about National Disability Insurance Scheme and Department of Veterans’ Affairs programs and support services will also be available.
