Stay connected and informed on any temporary changes to our services.

The Neighbourhood Centre is following closely the situation regarding the novel coronavirus COVID-19 continues to progress in NSW. We recognise this is impacting you both personally and professionally and we thank you for your continued efforts in supporting children the Bathurst and Oberon communities. It is vitally important that families continue to be supported, and critical services continue to be delivered during this time. Many of our clients are already experiencing a range of hardships and vulnerabilities and it is important that we maintain a strong level of support.

In order to protect the vulnerable we ask all clients who have returned from overseas in the past month or who are feeling unwell not to come into the Centre but to contact us via telephone. All hard surfaces are disinfected after each user, and we ask all to observe the 1.5 metre social clearance.

Please notify us immediately should you be notified of a staff member or client who returns a positive test to COVID 19.
