10.01.2022 As Premier of this state, I’ve spent every day fighting for workers and fighting for jobs. I know what every Victorian knows: a job means financial security ...but it also means stability, purpose and the foundation to build your future. And I honestly never thought I’d find myself in a position where I’d have to ask people not to go to work. But if we're serious about driving this thing down and we absolutely must be we need to take unprecedented steps in limiting the movement of people, and therefore limiting the movement of this virus. I know there are lots of questions and I’ll do my best to clarify some of them as simply as I can here. Under Stage 4 restrictions, businesses and industries will fall into three categories: First, those that will remain open including supermarkets, grocery stores, bottle shops, pharmacies, petrol stations, banks, newsagencies, post offices plus everyone involved in our frontline response. Services like food banks and disability services will continue to support our community’s most vulnerable members. Petrol stations will keep pumping fuel and pharmacies will keep dispensing prescriptions. In the second category are businesses that will need to stop all on-site operations including retail, some manufacturing, and administrative, financial and professional services. These businesses will need to shut by 11:59pm Wednesday 5 August unless they have specific circumstances that mean they need a bit longer to do so safely. Retail shops will be able to operate contactless ‘click and collect’ and delivery services with strict safety protocols in place, and hardware stores can remain open onsite but for tradies only. In the third category are industries that cannot be shut down, but are at higher risk of outbreaks. This includes areas like food production and meat processing, and logistics and distribution. Continuing to operate safely will require some big changes. Slowing production and having fewer staff onsite at any given time. Staggering start, finish and break times. More PPE. Health declarations and more support for sick workers to ensure they stay home. These changes will be enforceable. And the onus will be on employers to make sure they’re doing the right thing by their workers, including ensuring those with symptoms and potentially the virus do not come to work. This is not easy. None of it is easy. It will be imperfect, and there may be unintended consequence of shutting down one industry but not another. I’ll be upfront about that. But there's no guide on how to get through a global pandemic and closing industries on this scale has never been done before. These restrictions will of course have real and heavy consequences for a number of businesses, workers and their families. We’ll do everything we can to lighten that load. For those businesses that suffer significant losses or need to close as a result of the current restrictions, we will provide support through our expanded Business Support Fund. Businesses in regional Victoria will be eligible for a $5,000 grant. Those in Melbourne and Mitchell Shire can apply for up to $10,000 in recognition of spending longer under restrictions. I fully appreciate that people’s livelihoods are on the line. Jobs and futures at stake. And it is with an incredibly heavy heart that we’ve had to make these calls. But sadly, there is no alternative. There are no short cuts. Because there can be no economic recovery if we don’t get the health response right. There can be no productivity if thousands of people are sick. And many, many more businesses would likely go under if this situation drags on for months. None of us want that. All of us want this to be over as soon as possible. That’s a given. And the only way to get there is if we all work together. Pull in the same direction. Lives and livelihoods depend on it.

07.01.2022 The mental health issues related to lockdown and the pandemic are especially hard for people with depression. The wonderful charity MIND have a 24 hour helpline: 1300 286 463 or for carers on 1300 554 660
