Department Takes Services to Wagga Wagga

Media Release - DPS 70/2002

The ACT Regional Office (ACTRO) of the Department of Immigration and Multicultural and Indigenous Affairs (DIMIA) will be conducting an outreach information session in Wagga Wagga on 25 September.

Departmental representatives will present a general information session on immigration, citizenship and settlement services. Following this session, DIMIA staff will be available for individual appointments with clients who wish to discuss immigration matters.

The information session is particularly designed for service providers, clients and interested parties seeking information regarding DIMIA services. The individual client appointments enable people in the community to seek immigration information of a more personal nature. Only a limited number of appointments are available, so bookings are essential. Bookings can be made by calling the Ethnic Communities Council of Wagga Wagga on 6921 6666.

The session is part of ACTRO's regional outreach program, which involves periodic visits by staff to regional centres to provide general and topical information on the Department's services.

The outreach information session will be held on Wednesday 25 September at 9.30 am, followed by client appointments from 12 noon - 3 pm at the Meeting Room, Wagga RSL Club, Dobbs Street, Wagga Wagga.
