Family Support

The Community Development Officer within the Shire offers a Family Support Service which is funded through the Department of Local Government & Communities.  The primary aim of the service is to offer support to families, individuals and community groups within the Shire through the following means;

  • Information and Referral
  • Group Activities – Organising group activities or educational courses
  • Community Development – The service supports the development of community services and actively attempts to satisfy needs as they arise in the community
  • Informal Counselling or Advice
  • Appropriate Cultural Services Referral – The service provides information about culturally diverse organisations and can make necessary referrals
  • Education and Employment Options

The service is available to all members of the Mt Marshall community and we also encourage the surrounding districts to take advantage of assistance to individuals and community groups.
