15.01.2022 Disability transition survey via 'Year 13'. Year13 and YouthSense invite you to participate in an important study about young Australians with disability and career advice. We are conducting a survey for the Department of Social Services of young people with disability aged 15 to 24 and parents of children with disability aged 15 to 24. If this is not you but you know someone who is, please consider sharing this email or survey link with them. The survey seeks to identify th...e barriers young people with disability face in receiving career advice and transitioning from school to work.

03.01.2022 Request for face masks for vulnerable people in Victoria - This form should be completed to request reusable face masks for your organisation to distribute to vulnerable clients. In completing the form, you will need to know the number of staff members and people that you support who fall into this category. After you submit the form, you do not need to take any further action. A supply of masks will be delivered directly to your organisation via Australia Post. Delivery t...imes will differ depending on your location but will generally take between 3-5 days after you submit your order. DHHS will determine the amount of masks to be distributed to you. As reusable masks are continuing to be manufactured over the coming weeks, you will not receive your full allocation up front. Some single use face masks may be sent to you as an alternative to reusable masks in the interim. The balance of masks for your organisation will be placed on back-order for further deliveries as masks become available. You do not need to re-order or enquire about subsequent deliveries, they will be dispatched you automatically when they are available. Please refer to the website for consumer information in different languages and further information. https://forms.office.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx https://www.dhhs.vic.gov.au/reusable-face-masks-covid-19
