Cyclone Alfred update for clients from our CEO
Dear Valued Clients,
​
We would like to provide you with a further update on the impacts of the predicted cyclone.
​
Due to the anticipated severe weather conditions, RangeCare will need to adjust our services we provide to you. Over Thursday and Friday we will only be delivering essential services including personal care, medication management, nursing, and respite provided it is safe to do so. We will notify you of any changes to your scheduled services. Our Social Centres will be closed and the majority of our team members will be working from home. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we continue to try to operate during this time. Please contact us if you have concerns about your planned services or need to cancel.
​
Rest assured that RangeCare is closely monitoring the situation. Our priority is the safety of our clients and team members. For emergency assistance during this weather event, please call the SES at 132 500 or Emergency Services at 000.
​
We are here to support you through this challenging time. Stay safe, follow local authorities' instructions, and don't hesitate to reach out if you need assistance.
