Branch News
Training Day Announced - 3rd October at 10am!
We have received confirmation that 3rd October has been confirmed for our training day at Springvale Community Hub.
We kindly request that you confirm attendance with one of the DSS co-ordinators as numbers are limited and we would rather you not miss out on a seat!
As always, we thank Greater Dandenong Council for their support and providing facilities for us to use at no cost.
We also extend a special thank you to Colleen and Wendy from the RVAHJ for volunteering your time to teach the session.
