Mossman Support Services Health Management Statement

Mossman Support Service’s priority is the well-being and safety of our clients, staff, volunteers and the community.

During a public health emergency, the Chief Health Officer can issue Public Health Directions to assist in containing, or to respond to, the spread of infection within the community.

Mossman Support Services are required to adhere to the Direction from the Chief Health Officer.

Mossman Support Services will continue to deliver quality, person-centred services to support vulnerable and disadvantaged members of the community to foster hope and independence in a welcoming non-judgemental environment.

We continue to take advice, recommendations and directions from the Queensland and Australian Government and have taken actions to provide a safe and healthy environment whilst continuing to provide our vital services to the community.
