24.01.2022 Community Information - Face Coverings (COVID-19) As we know, wearing a face covering provides an additional physical barrier and helps to reduce community transmission. You must wear a face covering when you are leaving your home unless you have a lawful reason for not doing so. This means either a face mask or face shield. A face covering needs to be worn covering both your nose and mouth. We thought wed share some useful information from the Department of Health and Human... Services (Vic) on face coverings. The following link also have a great clip from Dr Brett Sutton, Chief Health Officer on how to safety wear a face covering. https://www.dhhs.vic.gov.au/face-coverings-covid-19

14.01.2022 Support for parents and care-givers. Children will respond and react to the Covid-19 pandemic in different ways. As parents, our first concern is about how to protect and take care of our children. Knowing how to support our kids can reduce stress and help in creating some sense of control over the situation. This can be a challenging time for families, as children need extra reassurance and might have questions about coronavirus (COVID-19) especially if they have heard peo...ple talking about it. Some children may show their stress or even fear by behaving differently or in challenging ways - this is new territory for all parents, and everyone is learning as they go. The Department of Health and Human Services has some resources you might find useful. visit: www.dhhs.vic.gov.au/carers-and-children-care-coronavirus See more
