At Bendigo Neighbourhood Hub, we are committed to preserving the health, well-being, and safety of our community, staff, and volunteers. As we continue to closely monitor the COVID-19 (coronavirus) situation, we want to reassure you that we are taking all precautionary measures in our organisation to minimise the risk and any impact of the virus, including following the advice of the Department of Health and Human Services.

At this point in time, all our services are running as usual. This may change as the current information available concerning COVID-19 evolves.

We have implemented new hygiene practices across all locations, and are meticulously and frequently cleaning to ensure a safe and healthy environment. We encourage everyone to take extra care - especially in the case of personal hygiene and sanitary practices, as this is the most effective method of protecting against illness.

We acknowledge that you may have concerns about coming in to our facility, and so we are providing alternative methods to contact us indirectly via one of the four options listed below. We will try our best to accommodate you: we are still here to help.

If you have recently been unwell or are at high-risk of contracting coronavirus (eg. returning from a high-risk area, previously coming into contact with someone who has been diagnosed with COVID-19, etc.), we ask that you refrain from visiting our organisation in person for the period of time specified by the Department of Health, and instead contact us via one of the four methods below - by eliminating physical contact, we can minimise the risk of any illness spreading to other community members.

For more information, or any questions regarding the COVID-19 coronavirus, please visit the Department of Health and Human Services  (DHHS) website. If you suspect you may have the coronavirus, please call the dedicated hotline on 1800 675 398 - do not call Triple Zero (000) unless it is an emergency.
