Member for Northern Tablelands Brendan Moylan has welcomed the launch of Uralla Community Care.
It’s the new name, brand and website for the Uralla Shire Council run community support service.
“The service was formally known as Tablelands Community Support and Tablelands Community Transport,” Mr Moylan explained.
“The service provides community transport for people of all ages, along with in-home support to help older residents remain independent, safe and connected to their community.”
It’s the only locally operated community care and transport service in the Uralla area.
The rebrand coincides with the arrival of two new electric vehicles for community transport and in-home support across Uralla, Armidale and surrounding areas.
“The cars and two charging stations were funded through the New South Wales Government’s Electric Vehicle Fleets Incentive- Kick-start Funding Program,” Mr Moylan said.
Uralla Shire Mayor Robert Bell said the launch reflected Council’s commitment to delivering high-quality community services while planning for the future.
“Uralla Community Care reflects who we are and the services we provide for our community,” Mayor Bell said.
“Whether it’s helping someone get to a medical appointment, access essential services or continue living independently at home, our team plays an important role in supporting the wellbeing of local residents.
“What makes this service unique is that it’s locally based and locally operated. Our staff understand the community, know the area and are committed to helping people stay connected and independent.”
