What is the service?
The Short Term Support service connects people to Council services and external services with support for different issues.
This includes:
- isolation or loneliness
- financial hardship
- emotional or mental health issues
- ageing
- illness
- difficult family relationships, conflict or mistreatment.
We can also connect you to services if you are having issues managing your home. For example, cleaning and meal services.
This is a free service. If needed, we can organise an interpreter to use this service.
Who can use the service?

The service is also for organisations supporting Knox residents. For example:
- emergency relief agencies
- hospitals and health care providers
- housing organisations
- law enforcement.
