Member for New England Barnaby Joyce said staff on board can help with a range of services, including lodging Centrelink claims, Medicare registrations, and providing access to online services.

“This is a great opportunity for the community to come down and meet face-to-face with the specialist staff,” Mr Joyce said.

“You don’t need an appointment, and it’s a free service – so if any member of our community has a question or needs any assistance, make sure you come down and visit the team aboard the Golden Wattle.”

A social worker from the department will be available on board who can assist with offering short-term counselling and referrals to support services.

Information about Department of Veterans’ Affairs programs and support services for veterans and their families will also be available.
