Assertive outreach service provides assistance to those in need
The City has contracted Aboriginal-led RooForce to deliver outreach services and connect people experiencing homelessness to appropriate services.
Walking around Victoria Gardens, Wellington Square and the malls on a regular basis, the teams can be spotted by their white polo shirts with the City’s Aboriginal artwork and ‘outreach’ written across the back.
“An approachable and friendly outreach team like RooForce enables us to respond immediately to someone’s specific needs,” Lord Mayor Basil Zempilas said.
“The purpose is to establish positive relationships and it is through these relationships that a person can be linked to long-term opportunities.”
