17.01.2022 Some news for all our regional Victorian peeps ... The Premier of Victoria Dan Andrews has announced that regional Victoria will move to the next step of the ro...admap out of lockdowns. This means things are opening up a bit more - but with plenty of rules. From 11.59pm on Wednesday September 16 in regional Victoria: You can leave home for any reason. You can travel and stay anywhere around regional Victoria, but you can’t travel into Metro Melbourne until restriction levels are the same. You can create a household bubble with one other household. Five people from this bubble can visit you at home and vice versa. The household bubble you choose must stay the same - you can’t switch between other households. And neither household bubble can be a part of any other household bubble. Share houses can only have one other household in their household bubble. You can meet up with other people outside in groups of up to 10 people. Continue to work from home if you can. Cafes and restaurants will be able to offer (mostly) outdoor seating - with groups limited to 10, and a two-hour time limit. All retail can open up again. Face coverings must be worn the whole time at hairdressers and beauty salons. Real estate agents can hold private inspections by appointment only, and auctions outdoors with limits to how many can attend.

14.01.2022 Tip for Support Workers, Support Coordinators, therapists and anyone working with disabled people. Please don’t wear perfumes or smelly deodorants etc. to work.... These scents can be a real problem for many people with asthma or chemical sensitivities, triggering breathing difficulties, migraine or other autoimmune or behavioural responses. Sometimes people aren’t even aware of this for themselves or maybe they’re unable or uncomfortable to communicate this with you, so they rely on you to do the right thing. Thanks. See more
