Monto services
Through the Monto Neighbourhood Centre, we offer support, guidance and assistance including youth support, meals delivery, social support groups, emergency relief, Centrelink services and visiting services.
- Monto Rural Youth Support Service: Young people aged 8 to 21 who are at risk of becoming disconnected can rely on us for support. We provide a culturally safe environment and value creating a bond with the Indigenous community. This helps identify issues and come up with activities for young people to support their requirements and priorities. Because we work with a variety of community services for young people in the region, you can also come to us for information, advice and referrals, as well as case management if needed.
- Monto meals delivery: You can have nourishing meals delivered to your door for a small fee.
- Social Support Groups: We create social support groups so you can make new friends and have someone to turn to in times of need or crisis.
- Emergency Relief Services: We offer emergency assistance Monday to Friday.
- Centrelink services: We provide Centrelink services Monday to Friday – Centrelink Self Service all day and Centrelink Agent Access in the mornings.
- Visiting services: Other services you might be interested in visit our Neighbourhood Centre, including Max Employment, Sarina Russo and Impact Disability Employment Services (there is a fee for some of these services).
