22.01.2022 The team at the Y will be working through the Premiers announcement this week but it's fair to say we still have a little way to go before we can re-open for community sport, better news for accommodation and early childhood care programs like vacation care. At least we all know the rules and the milestones that will trigger moving from one step to another. This gives us the opportunity to prepare...so we will keep preparing. How quickly we transition from being open totally... depends on us as a community doing the right things. We miss seeing our members and staff and will do everything we can to keep our community safe. https://www.vic.gov.au/industry-restrictions-roadmap-region

Monitor children and young people who are more vulnerable and at-risk, and check in with them about their interactions on and offline.
