Services Australia’s mobile service centre, Blue Gum, will be offering the community easy access to Medicare and Centrelink services and can provide information about the National Disability Insurance Scheme and Department of Veterans’ Affairs services.
Mobile service centres are 20 tonne trucks operated by staff from Services Australia, providing regional and rural Australians with friendly face-to-face services and tailored support.
Staff on board this trip can help with: Centrelink claims; payment and services information; updating information; confirming documents and supporting information; myGov services; social work support and referrals; Medicare registrations; and accessing online services through a self-service terminal.
The Blue Gum bus will be in Bright today (Wednesday, 28 May) at the Senior Citizens Centre car park in Cobden Street, from 9am to 4pm; and in Myrtleford tomorrow (Thursday, 29 May) adjacent to Jubilee Park in Myrtle Street from 9am to 4pm.
