13.01.2022 I'm concerned about the growing backlog and delay in partner visas, and the impact on new arrivals who want to make Indi their home. Migration has long been th...e key to Australia’s economic success and it will be crucial in the pandemic recovery. When the borders open up, we should prioritise partner visas - welcoming people who have chosen Australia as their new home, with a partner already in the community, who have a long-term plan and will invest in housing and their children’s education. Long processing delays take an emotional and financial toll, especially if one is overseas. Anyone who has done a long-distance relationship can tell you it's no easy task. Uncertainty is destabilising. If you don’t know when your visa will be granted, you can’t make plans, start a family, commit to a job or buy a house. I call on the Government to take immediate action to process the partner visa backlog and address the consequences of COVID-19 on these applications. Watch and read all my parliamentary speeches on my website: https://www.helenhaines.org//unnecessary-backlog-and-delay #visas #community #IndiCares https://vimeo.com/453148744

12.01.2022 Lots of colour and vibrant energy coming from this small and successful project subsidised by Victorian Department of Premier and Cabinet. Face masks were quickly and beautifully manufactured by one of our clever Congolese women Blandine when the Victorian government announced mandatory face masks in public spaces. 100 beautiful masks were made and sold to the lucky Wodonga Tafe students. It was hard not to say ‘smile’ when taking the photos. Remember; #wearamask #stayhomeifyoucan #socialdistance

06.01.2022 It's R U OK?Day, a reminder that every day is a day to start a conversation that could change a life. Today we're calling on Australians to learn what to say af...ter R U OK? so they can keep the conversation going when someone says they're not OK. There's more to say after R U OK? Learn what to say when listening with an open mind Learn what to say when encouraging action Learn what to say when checking in Learn how to continue a conversation that could change a life. When we know what to say next we can help someone open up and find pathways to support long before they're in crisis. Learn what to say next and help us move closer to our vision of a world where we're all connected and are protected from suicide. Head to www.ruok.org.au/how-to-ask
