We have plans in place to prioritise the ongoing delivery of critical services for our most vulnerable residents. Some non-essential services may be reduced.
Bin collections
Bin collections are continuing as normal. To reduce the risk to our truck drivers from having to move bins, please put your bins out within easy reach, not behind parked cars or other obstructions. If in doubt, please put bins on your driveway.
Our hard waste service is in high demand and new bookings may be temporarily suspended from time to time to allow our crews to catch up.

Aged care services
Services to support older people to remain living independently at home, including meals on wheels, are continuing as normal. We are offering enhanced services during COVID-19 including shopping services and meals to those residents who would not normally require them. Shopping bus and on demand bus services have been increased to better provide transport options during COVID-19. All other outings and trips have been cancelled.
Child care and kindergarten
The occasional care service at Knox Children and Family Centre (Wantirna South) is temporarily closed due to low attendances. While this service is closed, families have the option of using the long day care service. Child care and kindergartens are operating with increased cleaning and precautions in place to the minimise the risk of spreading COVID-19.
Maternal and Child Health
We’ve changed the way we provide our service to you in order to protect families and staff. Appointments will be held in-centre with social distancing, hand washing and masks required.
Enquiries can be emailed to mch@knox.vic.gov.au
