Feel secure and have peace of mind

So much of what happens in life is outside of our control now.

We need to feel safe, feel secure and have peace of mind.

The Bellarine Community Support Register (BCSR), based at Ocean Grove Police Station is one way to help you do just that.

It’s a confidential register of your personal and property information, stored on a secure database that can be accessed by police in case of emergency.

Once registered, you will receive a unique ID number which you should carry with you at all times.

“The service is open to all residents living on the Bellarine Peninsula including those with holiday homes,” BCSR chairperson Leonie Saundry said.

“When you return to your permanent residence, you are afforded the same level of protection that you have when you are here on holiday.”

You can register online or download a registration form at bellarineregister.org.au and lodge it at Bellarine Police Station in President’s Avenue, Ocean Grove during the summer break or send to PO Box 819, Ocean Grove.
