Blue Gum offers key services
LOCALS had the chance to access a host of government services without leaving their towns last week.
Services Australia’s Mobile Service Centre – dubbed Blue Gum – spent time in towns in the south of Corangamite Shire including Cobden, Timboon and Port Campbell.
Mobile Service Centres are 20 tonne trucks operated by staff from Services Australia, providing regional and rural Australians with friendly face-to-face service and tailored support.
Staff on board Blue Gum this trip were able to help residents with Centrelink claims, Medicare registrations and accessing online services.
Information about the National Disability Insurance Scheme and Department of Veterans’ Affairs programs and support services were also available.
