Centrelink holds open day

Ettalong Centrelink held an Open Day on Wednesday, October 25, as part of Children's Week, October 23 to 27.

The event was held to allow customers to have an intensive "check up" of their family assistance payments.

Customers were invited to attend the open day, which was held in the carpark of Ettalong Centrelink, and included a free barbecue for those who attend as well as a face painter to entertain the children.

Centrelink and Medicare staff were also available on the day to answer questions about the payments and services that people were entitled to.

Staff were also able to check customer records to ensure they were receiving correct entitlements.

Children were invited to enter Centrelink's Children's Week competition by drawing their family, with a $25 voucher for the winning prize.
