Regional and remote communities across NSW will benefit from a new fleet of tough Service NSW Mobile Service Centres, bringing in essential government services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Four tough new four-wheel-drives will replace the existing Mobile Service Centres, which have reached their end of life after covering more than one million kilometres and serving more than 70,000 people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The new fleet will have \u2018branch in a box\u2019 technology \u2013 a customer service terminal which can be removed from the vehicle and continue to operate independently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The four-wheel drive capability also means the Mobile Service Centres can be quickly deployed to communities impacted by natural disasters, where staff play a critical role in the delivery of financial support grants and recovery efforts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Communities will be able to access more than 1,300 NSW Government transactions including vehicle and driver services, Seniors Card applications, Working with Children Checks and cost-of-living support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Mobile Service Centres will continue their existing nine-week circuits, visiting more than 148 regional and remote communities across NSW. In the first month locations include Sussex Inlet, Berry, Moss Vale, Bermagui and Jindabyne.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This includes the \u201cKangaroo Bus\u201d, which visits more than 40 Aboriginal communities and includes Aboriginal Outreach officers from Revenue NSW, NSW Births, Deaths and Marriages and a business specialist from the Business Bureau to help provide tailored support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
