Minister for Human Services Nat Cook, says that “Code Blue is only possible because of dedicated workers and volunteers who go above and beyond to help people with nowhere else to turn. I want to thank each and every person involved in this critical service. There will be extra services available for people who need them, there is a place to sleep and a place to get warm food.
“There will be additional outreach. I encourage anyone who knows someone who is rough seeping, or anyone who is rough sleeping to contact Homelessness Connect on 1300 003 308 if they need to get information on where to go to get out of the weather and how to access services to help and keep you safe,” Cook continued.
Homeless Connect will continue to operate 24/7. Anyone who is homeless or at risk of homelessness is encouraged to contact Homeless Connect SA on 1800 003 308.
