As a result, we have clients and staff affected in these regions, with significant impacts on service delivery. We are working hard to support all affected clients and staff and ensure service continuity where possible. Your safety and wellbeing is, as always, our priority.  

We are asking affected clients to please contact us on 1300 782 896 if you haven’t already so that we can support you. Our team is also contacting affected clients proactively. Obviously, service provision is affected in many places with road closures and significant flooding making entry impossible. In certain circumstances, services have been postponed or cancelled but we will continue to work with clients, particularly those requiring essential services, to support them. 

Please be assured we have processes in place to respond to and manage emergency situations. Our team will continue to monitor the situation closely and communicate with clients as required. 

We are aware that for many of you the evolving situation is extremely distressing. Please don’t hesitate to contact us on 1300 782 896 if you need extra support at this challenging time.  

Please stay safe and take care.
