Mission Australia State Director Noel Mundy said the new office wouldassist in providing much needed services for those living in the region. “Mission Australia aims to work with communities across the State to assist in building resilience and equipping individuals to play an active role in their local community,” Mr Mundy said. “The Gateway Service, run by Mission Australia under contract to the State Government, promotes the wellbeing and safety of Tasmanian children, young people and their families. “It also provides the North West community with a visible entry and referral point in the community for vulnerable families and other professionals to access family and disability support services. “By contacting the Gateway Service people can receive high quality information, referral, and assistance by specialist services for individual or family support. “Since July 2010 through to March 31 this year, 564 families have come through the Gateway Service seeking assistance and 555 individuals sought disability support services since July 2011.” Mr Mundy said in addition, Mission Australia’s Language, Literacy and Numeracy Program provides training to increase skills in speaking, listening, reading, writing and maths. “The aim of this program is to help remove one of the major barriers to employment, assisting participants to pursue a positive and independent future.” The new office will employ up to 10 staff and is located at 1/40 Cattley Street, Burnie.
