Due to the developing COVID-19 situation, The Mount Barker Community Resource Centre will be closing until further notice. Effective from 25/03/2020.
Our Centrelink Office and Food Relief Agency will also be closed during this time.
We apologise for the short notice and thank you for your understanding.
We encourage people to continue to support local where possible as the upcoming months will be a trying time for many businesses.
We appreciate that this is a difficult time for many, and it may be hard to keep a positive attitude, but please try to remember that we are all in this together. If you or someone you know needs help, visit the Government of Western Australia Helplines List for a list of helplines that may be of use.
For the latest information and advice on the COVID-19 situation, please visit the WA Department of Health website, which is updated daily.
