Due to staffing pressures caused by COVID-19, only the Tuggeranong and Belconnen Access Canberra Service Centres will be open from tomorrow 18 January 2022, providing support for Canberrans both north and south side. The Gungahlin and Woden Service Centres are closed. Like so many Canberra businesses and workplaces, all our Service Centres are under pressure at this time. We are doing our best to support customers with their transactions as quickly as possible. Please make sure you check the wait times before you visit. Don’t forget you can also continue to transact with us online or via telephone 13 22 81 - it's quick, easy and contactless. Specialised centres - Hume Motor Vehicle Inspection Station, Mitchell Land, Planning and Building Services Centre and the Dickson Service Centre (Land Titles Office only) – also remain open. All service and specialised centres have arrangements in place to support staff and community safety including mandatory mask wearing, ongoing cleaning, physical distancing, Perspex screens and hand sanitiser.
