14.01.2022 As the Circuit Breaker comes to its celebrated end, and we all take a moment to pause - take a breath - and give thanks, we are mindful that, over the course of the past week, there has been a lot of information to take in about COVID-19.

In addition, SBS Radio has news available in over 60 different languag...es, here: https://www.sbs.com.au/language/coronavirus#anchor1 Both of these links, and more, are indexed on the College's COVID-19 Updates page, located on our website.
