The Meekatharra community now has improved ongoing access to Centrelink, Medicare and Child Support services, with the opening of a new Agent service.
Services Australia General Manager Hank Jongen said Yulella Aboriginal Corporation is providing the Agent service, replacing the Meekatharra Service Centre.
“The Agent service is delivering a consistent face-to-face service to the Meekatharra community,” Mr Jongen said.
“Visits to the Meekatharra Service Centre were declining, so we’ve adapted our servicing to suit the size and needs of the local community.
“Alongside the new Agent service, the community will also benefit from visits by Services Australia’s Remote Servicing Teams that provide more targeted, supported assistance to local Indigenous customers.
