19.01.2022 LOOK AT THIS! Births, Deaths and Marriages have published a policy for trans and gender diverse parents wanting to change their parental descriptor and name in their child’s birth record (and certificate), after altering their sex descriptor in their own birth record. The policy also applies to adult children of a trans or gender diverse parent wishing to update their parent’s details in their own birth record. WOOHOO! https://www.bdm.vic.gov.au//correct-a-parental-description

04.01.2022 Back to school! Woohoo! Remote learning really was a diverse experience for so many of our families - some loved it, some found it too hard to engage with, some did not access any online work at all for a rage of reasons. So here is another consultation for you to share your, and your kids, thoughts. Due by July 3. https://engage.vic.gov.au/lessons-remote-and-flexible-learn
