Rural Outreach & Support Service We assist people that are homeless or at risk of homelessness to develop life skills through workshops and individual consultations.

Special Homelessness Service that provides information, education, referral and support to women, men, families and youth in Inverell, Glen Innes, and Tenterfield. Rural Outreach & Support Service Today

Rural Outreach & Support Service (ROSS) is a non-profit community organisation that provides a safe and supportive environment for vulnerable, marginalised and disadvantaged men, women, youth and families. Services are needs based and developed based on the particular circumstances of each client. Through our programs we provide clients with information about services available to them and work with them on an individual or group basis to develop personal capacity, skills, self-worth and independence through education. Our service programs also assist those perpetrating or experiencing domestic violence as well as focusing on early intervention and/or prevention by reaching out to our youth with programs such as LoveBites, Be Cool Be Calm and Shark Cage. The Rural Outreach & Support Service eligibility criterion is non-discriminatory. Time spent doing our programs can go towards Work Development Orders to assist in paying off State Debt. Our services reach out to the communities of Inverell, Ashford, Delungra, Warialda, Bingara, Glen Innes, and Tenterfield. Advocacy & Support:
Rural Outreach & Support Service provides advocacy and support to clients who lack confidence or need a support person. Outreach:
The Service provides follow-up of clients by phone, group, home visits and outreach. Outreach is provided for a period that is to be determined between Client and Staff. Referral:
Workers at the Service have a current working knowledge of Health, Legal, Department of Communities and Justice, Housing and Community services that are available to Clients. As part of the service assessment process, workers will identify which of the Client’s needs can be met by the Service and when a referral to another service may be more appropriate. With the consent of Clients workers can pass on contact details to other services who can then make the contact themselves. Or, if the Client prefers, the worker can make the initial contact on the Clients behalf.

You never truly know what someone is carrying behind their smile. Some people are fighting battles they cannot put into words, trying to make it through days that feel heavier than they let on. So, today and every day, let’s be a little kinder, a little more patient, and a little more willing to listen. Sometimes, the smallest act of kindness can make someone feel a little less alone.

If you’ve been struggling lately, this is your gentle reminder that you don’t have to have everything figured out. You are allowed to rest, to ask for help, to start over, and to take life one day at a time. Your pain is valid, your presence matters, and your story deserves to continue. The world is better with you in it. Always. 💙
