The new office will open on Monday, September 11 in the heart of Shepparton at 210 Corio St.
Intereach says the location will provide greater access for those using public transport links and is close to essential amenities.
Co-chief executive Yvette Buhagiar said the relocation would open more opportunities for the community to visit the office and get the information they needed on NDIS, aged care and support around other services.
“This relocation will help our commitment to provide the best possible services to the people of Greater Shepparton,” she said.
“Our new office location will not only make our services more accessible, but also strengthen our presence within the community.”
Intereach staff will work remotely from Friday, September 1 to Monday, September 11 while the relocation occurs.
“While our office may be closed, we are here to help and support people during this time, but we need to do so via phone and video. People can reach out to us for appointments by calling 1300 488 266,” Ms Buhagiar said.
Recruitment drive: Shepparton and Seymour are listed among the centres in most need of staff by the Australian Electoral Commission, which needs to hire up to 100,000 workers before the referendum in October.
Less than 24 hours after Prime Minister Anthony Albanese announced the date for the Indigenous Voice to Parliament referendum, the Australian Electoral Commission was putting the call out for workers.
The AEC, which is responsible for running the referendum vote on October 14, is looking to recruit up to 100,000 temporary staff across the country — the Goulburn Valley included.
“With a date locked in, people will now know whether or not they can put their hand up to work with us in October,” Australian Electoral Commissioner Tom Rogers said.
”It’s paid work, a boost to help pay the bills, plan something nice or even get ready for Christmas.”
Shepparton and Seymour are listed among Victoria’s locations in most need of staff for the referendum.
“It can be difficult to find staff in regional and remote areas, so we’re really hopeful people will put up their hands, get involved in their communities and make sure people in their areas can vote,” Mr Rogers said.
