Homelessness Service Highlights

Helping Hands Guide is a community led resource to highlight emergency relief, showers and laundry, accommodation, financial counselling, and low cost or free meal options.

The homelessness flow chart(PDF, 108KB) has been designed for easy use and provides a pathway for those who need it, to be more aware of where they can access help and support.

The homelessness flow chart was launched as part of Homeless Persons Week activities at Ozcare Men’s Hostel in 2013 and is maintained up to date by Council with the support of the Bundaberg Housing and Homelessness Forum.
