20.01.2022 Invitation for those with lived experience to share their story contribute to the future work of the Office of Responsible Gambling in reducing gambling harm in NSW. As you may be are aware, the Office of Responsible Gambling would like to invite current and former clients and those with lived experience of gambling harm to share their story and contribute to the Office’s strategy for 2021-24. We have engaged The Australian Centre for Social Innovation (TACSI) to conduct the ...interviews. TACSI is a non-government, non-religious, not-for-profit organisation that works with communities to design for better outcomes. Who we want to talk to The ideas, stories and observations of people with lived experience of gambling harm are key to creating a strategy that works and has insight from the community impacted by gambling. We would like to recruit a broad range of people who have had various experiences with gambling including vulnerable and at-risk communities, those that are successfully managing their gambling and those that are just starting out on their recovery journey. If you could share this link to the online form: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/W553XNZ with current and former clients that you think may be willing to share their story and provide input on a confidential basis. When and how we will talk to people TACSI are planning to conduct small group sessions of up to 4 people via Zoom. The conversation is expected to take around 1.5 hours and will be conducted by phone or video conference depending on preference. We will reimburse clients for their time with a supermarket voucher to the value of $45 to say thank you for contributing their story and knowledge. There will be a counsellor available if they’d like to get support during or after chatting. Information is confidential The Office will only use personal contact details to communicate with clients about the conversation and will delete these details after all the events are over. There is also the option to provide their counsellors email if they would prefer not to share their name and/or email. What they share in the conversation will remain anonymous and kept safe by TACSI. We’d appreciate if you could circulate the invitation and the link to the online form: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/W553XNZ this week so we can get as many people as possible to contribute.

15.01.2022 International students and visa holders experiences in Australia during COVID-19. Close to 3/4 of survey respondents lost all or most of their work during the pandemic. Thousands were left unable to pay for food and rent, having been categorically excluded from government wage subsidy schemes. This is the 1st study to reveal the depth of social exclusion, racism & deeper emotional consequences of Australia’s policies, which have significantly impacted Australia’s global repu...tation. The findings indicate potential long-term economic and diplomatic consequences of current government policies which are at odds with those of other similar countries, such as the United Kingdom, that have included temporary migrants in wage subsidies. The report recommends the government urgently reconsider its policies. In particular, it calls upon the government to provide wage subsidies and other support to address the critical humanitarian need identified, and to repair the immediate and longer-term damage caused by Australia’s exclusion of these integral members of our community and workforce. #CRNGlendenning #Covid19 #Wearebetterthanthis #Internationalstudents #temporaryvisa

Getting tested: COVID-19 community testing numbers have dropped recently, which is a concern.

NSW Health is appealing to all members of the community to come forward for testing right away if they have even the mildest of symptoms like a runny nose or scratchy throat, cough or fever. This is particularly important for people in the Western and South Western Sydney areas where there have been instances of ongoing community transmission. New popup clinics continue to be established in these areas. COVID-19 testing clinics can be found here or call your GP. For translated posters about getting tested if you have visited the South Western Sydney area, please click here.
