Community Support 

The Shire supports the three community support and information centres across the Peninsula who are providing emergency relief on the Peninsula: 

These Centres provide a wide range of support to people in need of assistance ranging from food, material aid to bill payments. If you know someone who needs help reach out to the organisations.  

For assistance with housing, please phone The Salvation Army Homelessness Rosebud Office on 5986 0000 or Frankston Office on 9784 5000.

Ways to support your local community

Support local businesses

Coronavirus is impacting all of us, including our local businesses. Supporting local businesses is more important than ever. 

Where possible please shop local, buy local – our businesses really need you right now. You can search for local businesses and their changed ways of operating on the Shire’s business directory website.  

Many businesses that can are moving to online sales, home delivery, phone orders, no contact collection and more.
