Dear community members,

completed from a fire earlier this year. The Centre offers a variety of services for women which include counselling,
information, referral, support, free cervical cancer screening and free clinical services for men and women. If you need
a friendly ear and some guidance give the ladies a call on 5483 6588. An Open House to welcome everyone back to Alfred
Street will be held on Thursday, 14/8 from 4pm-5pm – drop in and say hi!
If you don’t receive the calendar and would like to be added to the monthly calendar email data base or if you receive the
