Congratulations to Alex Rice won Gold in the 12 years Hammer Throw in the NSW All Schools at Sydney Olympic Park last wee

Making it easy to access Government services: Service New South Wales will be visiting Canowindra on Thursday the 13th of October 2022 from 9am – 3pm at Canowindra Memorial Park, Gaskill Street Canowindra. 

On the day you will be able to access information regarding, Seniors Card, Driver licences, photo card renewals and applications, Driver Knowledge Tests, Birth, death & marriage certificates, Stay NSW and Parents NSW voucher applications and Savings Finder service – access up to 70 government rebates and savings. 

Please bring all your paperwork and supporting documents with you. We provide disability access and free customer WiFi. We’re a cashless service and accept payment by cheque, EFTPOS or credit card. 

We encourage you to check the website for the latest schedule or call our team on 13 77 88 before you turn up as unexpected events may cause the schedule to change. 

Save On Petrol With App: NSW drivers are urged to use the FuelCheck app to find a cheaper servo and save up to $10 a tank. Treasurer Matt Kean said the app could save drivers up to $800 a year. 

“Driving a couple of hundred metres down the road to a cheaper servo can really pay off and boost your budget. New data from the past six months shows independents consistently offer drivers the cheapest fuel. “FuelCheck has been an overwhelming success, with more than 2.2 million drivers downloading the free app, and 93% giving it the thumbs up.” 

Use your vouchers before they expire: All $50 Stay NSW and $250 Parents NSW vouchers end on 9 October – use yours before they disappear. Remember you can book accommodation, activities and experiences today to enjoy after 9 October. Access their website for more information on where you redeem your service NSW vouchers. 

Free BreastScreen checks during October: With Over 250 women being diagnosed with Breast Cancer each year, women are being urged to book their free Breast Screen. 

Breast cancer remains the most common cancer among women in NSW, with one in seven being diagnosed in their lifetime, with being female and age the biggest risk factors. “We need women to know that breast cancer can happen to anyone. In fact, nine out of 10 women who develop breast cancer have no family history. BreastScreen NSW staff are highly trained and support women through the process. Screening provides great peace of mind,” Professor O’Brien said. 

BreastScreen NSW recommends all women aged 50-74 years have a breast screen every two years. Call 13 20 50 to book an appointment or book online. 

Combat Feral Animals: Landholders and farmers across the Central West are encouraged to take part in the NSW Government’s Spring Pest Offensive following a rise in the number of wild animals. Contact Local Land Services on 1300 795 299.
