16.01.2022 Thanks to a Lotterywest grant CAB Perth finally has a new photocopier. Goodbye old one. We have always hated you but oddly will miss you breaking down every second day, you deliberately blobbing toner on important legal documents and squeaking so loudly that we thought we had a rat infestation. ... CAB ’s Lotterywest Ps and if you see a second hand photocopier on Gumtree that looks like the one below- do not buy it - it’s evil

14.01.2022 1 in 5 Australians are affected by mental illness annually, yet many don’t seek help because of stigma. During the COVID-19 pandemic, prioritising mental health... and wellbeing has been more important than ever. This World Mental Health Day October 10 the message is simple: Look after your mental health, Australia. What are some strategies you use to look after your wellness?

08.01.2022 Did you know that if you receive a gift card you have three years to use it? Under Consumer Law introduced last year the business owner can’t make it any shorter. Don’t let them try and tell you otherwise!! You’re welcome ... https://consumerlaw.gov.au/new-gift-card-laws

08.01.2022 Fantastic news, this has now passed the upper house. It means that soon it will be prohibited to wheel clamp or immobilise vehicles as a means of private parking management. You can still have your car towed if parking in a clear way for example but you will no longer be at the mercy of less professional clampers and towing companies on private property such as a car park.
