One of their first stops will be in Bingara on Wednesday at the Roxy Theatre from 10am until 2pm.
Member for New England, Barnaby Joyce, said the additional services are open to everyone and will provide a one-stop-shop information service to the local community.
"Australia is a big country and we love it because of that fact but the tyranny of distance means people living in rural communities can be isolated from the services they need and deserve," Mr Joyce said.
"That's why we are delivering the services to them with a number of government providers travelling the length of the New England to provide face-to-face meetings and information for local residents."
After Bingara, they'll stop in Warialda on Thursday at the Hope Street hall from 10am until 2pm.
On Tuesday, September 3 they'll stop in Inverell at the equestrian centre in Cameron Street also from 10am-2pm.
Assistance will be available the Department of Human Services mobile centre, Australian Taxation Office, nbn local, NSW Department of Primary Industries, Rural Financial Counsellors, Rural Resilience Program, Centre for Rural and Remote Mental Health, Local Land Services, NSW Farmers, The Salvation Army, Rotary, Friendly Faces, SafeWork NSW and TAFE NSW.
