Services Australia
Will assist with disaster payments, confirm identity and allow businesses and residents to not need to go into a service centre. They will also have social workers available.
Service NSW – Concierge Service
Will provide information on support that may be available to businesses. If financial support is not immediately available, the business details will be captured and should funding be released the concierge will be able to reach out and provide them relevant information. Capturing this data may also help in determining where small business pockets of Cabonne have been heavily impacted and will aid in advocating for support for the business community.
Cabonne Council
We will be there for any Council related queries that may arise and to support the other agencies and community.
