Emergency food parcels

You are able to come along on Monday or Wednesday morning if you are in need of an emergency food parcel. You can receive 3 food parcels each 6 months period. If you are still in need you can discuss this with one of our Community Workers.

Emergency Relief Appointments

If you are in crisis and need urgent help with bills or other financial pressures, please call and make an appointment to see one of our Community Workers on ph (02) 9552 4164. For your appointment you will need to provide a copy of your latest Income Statement (Centrelink or otherwise) as well as any other paperwork that shows evidence of hardship.

If you are Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander, you can ask to see our Indigenous community worker when you make your appointment.

Our Community Workers assist individuals who face financial and other difficulties in their lives. We have a caring, solution-focused approach, aimed at helping people to recognise their own personal resources at the same time as identifying, drawing on and partnering with external supports. We have an Anglicare Family Counsellor onsite, available by referral from the Community Workers.
