IMPORTANT UPDATE
- All Dixon House programs (except Emergency Relief) are currently on hold until further notice due to recent developments with the Coronavirus pandemic.
- We apologise for any inconvenience caused, however, we are looking out for the health and wellbeing of our Dixon House community, which has a significant number of elderly and those with health concerns.
- All Term 1 registered participants will be updated about Term 2 around mid-April. For all paying participants, these two weeks will be replaced by an extra two weeks later in the year.
- Please continue checking this page for the latest updates.
- Emergency Relief will still operate currently during the times stated below in the Community Services tab - eligibility criteria can also be found below. The service has been modified to minimise contact between clients and staff. Instead of clients going into the pantry to select food, they will need to complete a form and the food will be packed and brought out.
