The Register
is a database of personal information voluntarily provided by those in need of
community support living in the City of Greater Geelong.
The information collected
can be accessed by the Police and other emergency services in order to assist
authorities with information required during medical or other emergencies.
The
Register is based at the Corio Police station. It is available to all City of Greater Geelong residents,
except those already covered by the Bellarine Peninsula Register.
Why have a Community Support Register?
The Register
aims to enhance people’s feeling of security, confidence and wellbeing.
If
Registrants are unable to provide medical or personal information, perhaps due
to a fall, illness or other emergency, vital and timely information can be made
available to emergency services personnel.
Registrants
are provided with a welcome pack, including a fridge magnet, window sticker,
key-ring and Register card for their wallet or purse. These items help to
identify them as being part of the Register.
The Register
team also offers a regular telephone call to those who request this service.
There is no
cost for residents to register.
