COVID NEIGHBOURHOOD HEART INITIATIVE
The Shire of Dandaragan with the support of our regional CRC's are providing assistance to members of the community facing challenges and increasing social isolation due to COVID-19.
The COVID Neighbourhood Heart Initiative aims to support those in our community at high risk of being impacted by the threats of COVID-19, including seniors, people with a disability or underlying health issue, people from culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) backgrounds, and Indigenous people.

Can you help your neighbour? We are looking for volunteers to help seniors and vulnerable people who are socially isolated in our local community. There are people who have started to practice 'social distancing, and while we support this measure to minimise infections, we are concerned about the impact of social isolation and increased loneliness. Whether it's helping someone with their grocery shopping, dog walking, a friendly phone check-in, or other errands - any little assistance you can offer will go a long way for someone in need.
Please fill out the appropriate short online form below to register as a volunteer or participant, and we will put you in direct contact with residents in your area offering or requesting assistance. The volunteer sign-up forms are also available in printed format in a brochure holder out side the Dandaragan CRC and will be available at the Shire Administration Centre and Jurien Bay CRC.
In Dandaragan once the you have filled in the form, please drop it into the the outdoor library return box or email to [email protected]. You can also go to the Shire of Dandaragan's website and complete the form online.
