Urgent temporary accommodation (in case something doesn't go according to plan)
If you need urgent accommodation and have no place to stay, ring 1800 152 152 at any time of the day. This is a service called Link2Home, and can help you with up to two nights’ accommodation, plus assessment and referrals to services you may need around NSW. If you need urgent assistance and you’re in danger, call 000.
If you need help with more accommodation after your initial 2 days, head to a local DCJ Housing office and ask for further temporary accommodation. You’ll need to bring:
- ID (like your drivers licence, photo ID, or birth certificate),
- a bank statement (this could be a mini statement showing the last 10 transactions or a full bank statement), and
- any proof of income such as your latest pay slip or Centrelink income statement (you can give permission for DCJ to get this online for you).
There are some limits to how many nights you can receive temporary accommodation. But don’t worry, by speaking with your caseworker or DCJ, you’ll be able to plan ahead and ensure the right services and support is provided to you at all times.
