20.01.2022 As we all know, COVID-19 is serious and it is an overwhelming time for all of us. There are ways we can keep our mob and wider community healthy and safe and we... can all play a part in keeping our community safe. From this Sunday 11.59pm, everyone in Victoria must wear a mask or face covering (with only some exceptions), not just Melbourne metro and Mitchell Shire. Community transmissions are high and our community numbers are still increasing. We know it is a hard time, but remember that a mask not only protects ourselves, but our Elders, families, friends, and the wider community. It is our responsibility to minimise the spread within our community and to follow the guidelines. Remember if you have symptoms - get tested, for yourself, and for our mob! Keep an eye out for deadly businesses with reusable masks, but in the meantime contact VAHS and VACCHO if you need one. Remember to also try to stay up to date as guidelines are constantly changing.

10.01.2022 A lot has changed in all of our lives this year, but celebrating LGBTIQ young people remains as important as ever. Thats why Im encouraging everyone to do som...ething to mark Wear it Purple Day on Friday 28 August, to remind LGBTIQ young people that they are loved and supported. I know Victorians are up to the challenge of doing Wear it Purple Day differently in 2020, and the great folk at Minus18 have some ideas and a toolkit of things you can do. Now is a great time to plan for how your workplace, school or organisation can celebrate this day and show LGBTIQ young people that they are valued. You can download Minus18s toolkit at https://www.minus18.org.au/campaigns/wear-it-purple-day
