Community support centre in Agnes Water
UnitingCare’s Discovery Coast Community Support Program is a unique service that truly takes the time to understand what the Agnes Water community needs and how we can best reach those who are at risk of falling through the gaps.
After consulting with the community, each year we decide on 15 activities – five projects, five resources and five events – that aim to be of most benefit to vulnerable members of our community. These activities can change from year to year, depending on the needs of the area.

Discovery Coast Community Support Program and Discovery Coast Emergency Relief Service
How does Discovery Coast Community Support Program help?
Our 15 activities can range from distributing flyers about drugs and alcohol, to holding sex education workshops at schools, or free help for elderly residents to fill out forms.
Other examples of recent projects include a monthly bus to Bundaberg and Gladstone, a community kitchen shared dinner, and delivering the Love Bites respectful relationships program at local schools. We can also refer people to other support agencies.
From the centre, we also run the Discovery Coast Emergency Relief Service, allowing us to assist people doing it tough with emergency relief, such as fuel and gift vouchers, household items and school necessities.
