Tullamarine Support
Published on 21 January 2021
A message from the Mayor.
I would like to extend a message of support to our community following the death of a mother and her three children in their Tullamarine home.
I am moved by the flowers and other tributes that have been left by the community. To me, this is a sign of support and togetherness.
We are working with local authorities and support services to support those close to the family and the wider community.
It is important to us that our community has access to the supports you need.
If you or someone you know needs extra support, I encourage you to reach out to one of the organisations listed below.
Yours sincerely,
Councillor Joseph Haweil
Mayor of Hume City Council
