NEW - Community Support Service 

The Community Support Service will support Indigenous community members and their families by providing links and referrals to a range of mainstream and Indigenous services which may include welfare and social support, family violence, health (including drug and alcohol services), housing, child care and legal. The role will also entail the development and fostering of relationships with other service providers through promoting access and pathways to their services.
The Community Support Service aims to build on successful elements of the former CDEP program, by linking Indigenous people and their families to other services and support in their region.
By better linking Indigenous people to community services, the Community Support Service will support social inclusion and community cohesion. The Service will also assist in closing the gap between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians in accessing services and information.

What can you expect from your service provider?

The Community Support Service will have a welcoming place in each selected community where Indigenous people and their families can go for help to find a service to meet their personal needs and to access the internet.
Community Support Service staff will have a good knowledge of the range of Indigenous and mainstream services available to help local Indigenous community members. They will have developed relationships with these services so that they are able to refer individuals.
