We work with local services to support community members who are sleeping rough. We are committed to reducing homelessness.

Concerned about the welfare of a person sleeping rough locally? Contact Wesley Mission, call 1300 259 789 or contact us.

Our Homeless Policy outlines Council's role in connecting people to supports. Our role is to also reduce the stigma faced by homeless people. View our Homelessness Policy .
