23.01.2022 Due to a cluster of COVID-19 cases in Geelongs northern suburbs, Barwon Health is encouraging people aged 16 to 25 in the area to get tested if they have sympt...oms. A pop-up testing clinic will run at Corio Community Health Centre from Monday to Wednesday, 11am to 4pm. No appointment is necessary.

23.01.2022 "While this period of lockdown has been an extremely difficult time for Victoria, we now need to position our region for the future. The brand of Geelong has ...never been more important, and we believe that as the restrictions ease, the competition for intra-regional investment and spending will be fierce. How we sell our region and highlight the benefits of regional living needs to be a focus." In today's Geelong Advertiser, our CEO Jennifer Cromarty considers the future, and that a collaborative manner, which promotes our region for investment and growth, Geelong "will be well positioned to absorb this once-in-a-century shock."

09.01.2022 ' . It is with gracious hearts, and an abundance of gratitude that we announce our ‘ ’ café will be closing on December 6th.... Truffleduck’s swift transition into take-home meals and a pop-up café allowed us to continue our exceptional service for new and existing customers, whilst expanding our creative journey. Although we will miss seeing your faces daily, we will still have more to offer online as we head into the festive season. Thank you for supporting our ‘Duck In café and keeping local businesses at the forefront of your mind. We are so grateful to you all and hope to see all your faces over our final two weeks!

09.01.2022 Looking through the archives...a few memories of Christmas celebrated at Anam Cara House Geelong over recent years...

09.01.2022 Whether its 6 months or 16 years after the death of a loved one - hearts stay broken. So it is so important to give yourself space when it comes to your grief.... I had a chat with a beautiful friend of mine during the week who was coming up to two years since the death of her Dad. She told me she would probably work on the anniversary and if she didnt feel up to it on the day, she would just pull the pin. I hate telling people what to do, but I gently suggested maybe she should consider it the other way around. Take the day off and then if she felt up to it, she could work. Because grief can hit you out of nowhere, especially on important dates such as an anniversary or birthday. Grievers would also know grief can hit you on a random Tuesday while washing the dishes or a Saturday morning while driving in the car and listening to a song. So give yourself space when it comes to your grief. Factor the important dates in and clear the calendar. Even if the day goes by and you feel good, thats better than finding yourself locked into a calendar of things to do, feeling bad/stressed/anxious/trying to hold it together. Hearts stay broken, it is so important to remember that, no matter how far along the grief journey you are. If youd like to explore your broken heart further, Grief a guided journal is a great place to start. You can pick up a copy here - https://www.jobetz.com.au/products/grief-a-guided-journal

02.01.2022 When staying connected is more important than ever...today is a good reminder to ask those in your Community 'R You OK' ? Help us promote this sense of Comunity in a time when many are feeling isolated and affected by the current situation we find ourselves in. Some people in your world might be feeling anxious, worried about when things will return to normal, be physically unwell or concerned about their health and wellbeing. It is now more inmporant that ever to reach out and to let those around us know that its OK to not be OK. So if 'you're' feeling well and able to reach out to support someone, start a conversation with your neighbours, collegues, friends and family - and let them know youre there to help now and for as long as it takes. #livingwell #stayconnected #theresmoretosay #RUOKDay2020
