25.01.2022 The biggest benefit of wearing a mask is that if you’re sick even if you don’t know it yet you protect those around you from getting sick too. So do it for ...the retail staff putting your purchases through. Do it for your colleagues and your mates. Do it for the bus driver. We know that the risk of transmission is up to 20 times higher inside which is why masks are mandatory in all indoor spaces and PT for the time being. It’s a small thing, but it makes a big difference.

19.01.2022 Too many have waited too long for the security and dignity that comes with having a home. The impact that having a roof over your head has to every part of your... life is immeasurable. We're providing $5.3 billion on the Big Housing Build to construct more than 12,000 new homes. It'll support people who are most in need of safe and sustainable housing - people with mental illness, homeless people and people escaping family violence among others will have the opportunity to reach their full potential through housing security. This investment will create thousands of new jobs as we continue to recover from the pandemic and it'll improve thousands of lives right across Victoria.

16.01.2022 Here are some photos of our Art Attack students at the 30th anniversary Linden Postcard Show. Due to Covid restrictions, they created their works via online studio sessions with tutor Zoe during 2020. Congratulations to Justin, Robbie, Abouk, Attem and Mahsan who all sold their works. What a wonderful achievement!

16.01.2022 The scars of this pandemic won't just disappear when the virus goes away. And if we want to truly recover, we need to not just build big but care strong too. ...That's why today we announced over $235 million to employ, train and upskill a Recovery Workforce of mental health professionals, disability support staff and child protection workers and create 500 new jobs. That includes developing 240 Family Violence and Sexual Assault trainees, and providing funding to retrain Victorian nurses in mental health. We're providing new child psychiatry registrar positions for junior doctors, and almost 100 new alcohol and drug recovery coordinators. And we know that those who've been through it, understand it best that's why we're training and deploying a lived experience workforce of Victorians who've tackled mental health in their own lives, to help those doing it tough right now. We're working with Victorian Aboriginal health services too, and creating a $40 million fund to enable Aboriginal healthcare providers across Victoria to support and care for their communities. And because every Victorian child deserves to feel safe and cared for, over $132 million will massively expand our state's child protection workforce too boosting their capacity to protect and improve the wellbeing and safety of Victorian kids and their families. For too many Victorians, going back to 'how things were' before the pandemic means going back to an unsafe home or inaccessible mental health care. And that's just not good enough. As a state we'll come out of this stronger than ever but only if we bring everyone along with us.
