A huge thank you to the team at Central Square for giving us our very own shopfront display.
On show are three of our members' vehicles:

As if offering professional, reliable plumbing services wasn't enough, the legends at Vic Urban Plumbing just keep giving. Major Sponsors for the Ballarat Rod Run 2025 , we're proud to be supported by a local business that not only backs our event but also gives back to the Ballarat community in such a meaningful way.
Please show them your support and help spread the word about this wonderful initiative.

Vic Urban Plumbing has a Free Plumbing Initiative available for patients receiving care through Ballarat Hospice Care.

The initiative covers both labour and materials and is available for a range of common plumbing issues, including leaking taps and toilets, blocked drains, burst pipes, hot water problems, water and gas leaks, shower repairs and more.

If you would like more information about the initiative, brochures are available through Ballarat Hospice Care.

Alternatively, you can contact our team directly on 0437 018 821 or email [email protected].

We understand that when someone is receiving palliative care at home, even small household issues can become an added source of stress. Our aim is simply to help where we can and make things a little easier for patients and their families.

Please feel free to share this post so it reaches anyone who may benefit from the initiative.
