We know that Covid-19 is creating all sorts of challenges for different people; with a range of needs falling through the gaps of current service provisions. Counterpoint Community Services is excited to announce that we will be rolling out our Flexible Errand Project soon to help those that are finding it particularly tough. Funded by the City of Sydney as part of the City’s Community Service’s Grant (Covid-19), the Flexible Errand Project consists of a team of ‘mates’ to support those eligible with a range of services.

·         Job seeking assistance
·         Emotional and counselling support
·         Collection of essential shopping, medicines and other household items
·         Help with navigating and accessing on line services
·         Support and wellbeing check and assistance to access other supports
·         Assistance with small tasks around the house
·         Support for personal growth, education and development.

Eligibility: The project is based on priority need for those who live in the City of Sydney’s LGA and are significantly affected by Covid-19 and have no access to other practical assistance such as My Age Care.

Although the project is coming soon, we are now accepting inquiries and our friendly staff will conduct an assessment over the phone. If you do not meet the eligibility criteria, our staff will determine the best way to assist you and may refer you to a more appropriate service.

If you or anyone you know is in need of assistance, kindly call 02 9698 9569 or email info@counterpointcs.org.au

Children don't belong in prison.

Everyone knows that children do best when they are supported, nurtured and loved. But across Australia, children as young as 10 can be arrested by police, charged with an offence, hauled before a court and locked away in youth prisons.

When children this young are forced through a criminal legal process at such a formative age, they can suffer immense harm – to their health, wellbeing and future.

Ten year old kids belong in schools and playgrounds, not placed in handcuffs, held in watchhouses or locked in prisons away from their families, community and culture. Governments can change this by raising the minimum age of criminal responsibility to at least 14 years.
