Mobile Service Centres are a lifeline for rural and regional areas, bringing a comprehensive range of essential government services to residents who lack access to a local Services Australia office, according to Federal Member for Gippsland Darren Chester.
Mr Chester is encouraging Gippslanders to take advantage of Services Australia’s Mobile Service Centre Blue Gum, which will be in Heyfield, Maffra and Briagolong later this month, offering locals the important opportunity to access Centrelink, Medicare, NDIS, and Department of Veterans’ Affairs services.
“The Mobile Service Centre offers assistance to rural families, older Australians, students, job seekers, people with disabilities, carers, farmers, and self-employed individuals,” Mr Chester said.
“It’s also a valuable chance to learn about government payments and services you might qualify for.
“The friendly and professional Mobile Service Centre staff can help you with Centrelink and Medicare matters, such as creating a myGov account, applying for new payments, updating your information, and more.
“If you are a veteran or a family member of one, you can also get information and support from the Department of Veterans’ Affairs.”
Services Australia’s Mobile Service Centre will be in Heyfield near the Community Resource Centre on George Street from 9.30am until 4pm on Wednesday, July 31.
The Mobile Service Centre will then be in Maffra near the rotunda on Johnson Street from 9.30am until 4pm on Thursday, August 1, and in Briagaolong near Briagolong Community House on Avon Street from 9.30am until 4pm on Friday, August 2.
