In my experience (I’m a forensic psychologist) police doing welfare checks is often an unwanted and in fact more damaging thing to inflict upon individuals who for whatever reason are withdrawing from society, they often have strong feelings of vilification from authority figures and/or organisations such as the police. Besides, these blokes were doing a “welfare check” and look how that panned out:

From memory I think he lives somewhere around Geelong or the outer suburbs of Geelong, if you can’t find a friend or someone known to him on here or wherever I’d suggest perhaps trying the local Salvos or community mental health program to do the check rather than cops

I agree. The police might do a great job but they might also catch him at a bad time or be insensitive in their approach. The suburb idea and a BF volunteer seems preferable if intervention is seen as a necessary option.
 
Just went to his place

Someone let me in and took me upstairs.......knocked on door no reply.

Doing my head in now.

Is the door locked? What sort of place - house, boarding house? Anyone have a key?

Probably send someone over who has actually met him in person. Imagine someone knocking on your door you haven't met in person saying 'hi I'm from bigfooty'.

Is he staying in an apartment block. Perhaps make contact with those who manage it.

Does he have family and friends that anyone knows of?

Look at these options first.

If that doesn't work.. police or someone who is prepared to head out there to pay him a visit.
 
At the Police Station will keep you all posted.

Were they able to give you details of anyone else to contact or places he might frequent? I hope Temploar checks in soon.
 
I was wearing my Collingwood top and I told him it was me.

I don't think CFC has met him. I wouldn't feel comfortable discussing his family set up in a public forum.

If this does turn out to be a false alarm as we are all hoping.. maybe the mods should delete the thread because it may or may not be a welcome discussion.

Totally understand the need to reach out to everyone until then.

I was thinking the same.
