Our Mission – What we do to help

EMERGENCY

We provide information on the Register only to police to support ambulance, hospital or fire services in an emergency where people are unable to provide this information themselves.

SECURITY

We securely store all personal information and ensure it is accessible only by police in an emergency. All our volunteers undergo police checks and sign confidentiality agreements.

SUPPORT

On request, our volunteers provide regular telephone care calls to people on our Register (the registrants) between 9.30am and 12 noon, Monday to Friday, except on public holidays.

COMMUNITY

We offer reassurance for our registrants, their family and neighbours that their local community cares about their welfare and is alert to their needs.

A service you can trust

The Bellarine Community Support Register is an incorporated not-for-profit organisation managed and run by volunteers based at the Bellarine police station. All our volunteers undergo police checks and sign confidentiality agreements.

We are happy to speak to you, or to present to your group or organisation, on the benefits of the Register.
