25.01.2022 Food Hamper Support Needed Each week through the generosity of many community partners, we are able to provide non-perishable food hampers to vulnerable individuals and families in our community. Our usual suppliers of food are unable to assist us and we are expecting the need to rise given the level of financial distress many are going through.... Can you support our food hampers by purchasing one or two extra items in your usual shop? The items we need are: 1 litre long life milk Tinned fruit Tinned vegetables Tinned soup Baked beans Tinned spaghetti Tinned tomatoes/pasta sauce Any donation, no matter how big or small, will assist us to continue providing this vital service. Items can be donated at our reception at 218 Manly Road, Manly West between 9:30am and 3:30pm Monday to Friday.

25.01.2022 UPDATED HEALTH ADVICE To help prevent any further spread of COVID-19, Queenslanders must minimise the number of people they come into contact with. O...nly leave your home if its absolutely necessary. You can do so with members of your household or with one other person who is not a member of your household. Permitted reasons to leave your home are listed below. For a residence or household, the number of people allowed to gather in that house is limited to the usual members of that household, plus two other visitors who are family or close friends. We strongly urge people aged over 70, anybody over 65 with a chronic disease, and Indigenous people over 50 to stay at home for their own protection. You are now only allowed to leave your home if absolutely necessary for the following permitted reasons. Failure to comply with these regulations can result in a fine up to $1,330 for individuals and $6,670 for corporations. > To obtain essential goods and services > Receive medical treatment or health care services > Exercise > Do work or volunteering that is essential and cannot be done from home (this is any type of work that is not restricted under the latest non-essential business activity and undertaking closure direction) > Visit another persons home, as long as there are no more than 2 visitors who do not usually live there > Visit a terminally ill relative or attend a funeral > Assist, care for or support immediate family members > Attend a Court or tribunal or comply with a Court or tribunal order > Attend a childcare facility, school, university, or other educational institution to receive instruction that is not possible to receive at home > Assist with an investigation by police or other law enforcement authority > All shared custody arrangements of children under 18 years of age, whether informal or court-ordered, can continue as normal. You are allowed to leave home to take children from one parents home to the other parents home > To avoid illness, injury or the risk of harm > To comply with directions of a government agency.

22.01.2022 BREAKING: Gundu Pa Wynnum - Manly Community Health Centre is one of 5 New Fever Clinics ... Open: 25 August 2020 to 28 August 2020 (this may be extended depending on demand) Hours:- 8am-4pm No referral required. Metro South will review this decision if there is a high enough demand and it can be seen as helping alleviate pressure on other clinics. This is great news for Baysiders because it means that we can now get a COVID test locally, rather than having to travel. More testing centres here:- https://metrosouth.health.qld.gov.au//fever-clinic-locatio Remember to keep 1.5 metres apart, wash your hands, stay home, and if youre feeling unwell, get a test. Together we can beat this!
