In the coming weeks there are significant changes in the way The Salvation Army’s Emergency Relief Service will operate in Australia.

These changes will enable the Cranbourne Corps to begin working with the Salvos Personal Assistance Line from Monday 14 November.

To access the Salvo PAL line on, and after, the 14 November, those needing assistance will need to ring 8873 5288 and speak to an assessor.

The assessor will determine eligibility and direct the caller to where and when they can collect a voucher and access other supports.

There are changes happening at the Cranbourne site so that they can begin the new national Doorways model in November.

The current service will be phasing our ‘Bread & Veggies’ Drop In on Friday 28 October, with the Drop In Emergency Relief Food Parcels being phased out on Friday 4 November.

To enable the new model to operate efficiently, the Cranbourne Doorways will be closed for the week from Monday 7 November to Friday 11 November whilst remodelling work happens.
