21.01.2022 Keeping the team spirit alive in Tassie. It’s a pretty tough time for many right now, so our CEO Drew Beswick and the rest of our Hobart office team thought they’d raise spirits and have a laugh over their mutual love of football. Nice one, team!

20.01.2022 For Victorians who rely on lip-reading, the widespread use of face masks has made communication more difficult. But it’s sparked some positives, too. Things like that make you feel valued. Elise Stewart, operations manager at Deaf Hub Bendigo, has been touched by the efforts of those around her to connect.

20.01.2022 A conversation can change a life. Today is R U OK Day and the theme this year is about keeping the conversation going. About reaching out to those around us, listening with open ears and encouraging people who need help to get it. We hope you're doing OK today, tomorrow and every day after.

19.01.2022 Phew, in less than 12 hours we sent out 565 permits to our amazing essential workers across Victoriapulling out all the stops to make sure we could continue providing crucial services. A huge thank you to everyone who made it happen. Lorraine, Paula and the rest of the team also wanted to thank their colleagues, both for their hard work and the fruit hamper. When it arrived this morning they said it put a smile on everyone’s faces (behind the masks). Pictured: Lorraine and Paula with their permits and face masks, which must now be worn in Victoria.
