Hervey Bay Neighbourhood Centre - Community Access Program

The first is the announcement of our new service, the Community Access Program: https://www.hbnc.com.au/news/help-hbnc-boost-digital-skills-financial-literacy-and-wellbeing

The Community Access Program will help residents (with priority given to those aged 18-36) in navigating available services and providing case management practices that ensure timely and appropriate service referrals.

The program will also provide financial literacy support to participants by linking them to services, helping them manage and improve their budgeting and financial skills.

Participants will also be provided with digital literacy and safety support to upskill their digital skills and build awareness and understanding around maintaining online safety.

We have also created a resource to help community members access our “navigator” services. These are services that support community members to find what is available to them and to navigate complex systems: https://www.hbnc.com.au/news/need-help-accessing-services
