20.01.2022 During the pandemic our nurses and frontline workers have consistently taken on additional clients and responsibilities due to the vast increase in demand for our services. This increase in workload, coupled with physical distancing and other social restrictions in Victoria has seen our teams deal with increasing levels of anxiety and loneliness impacting on their health and wellbeing. With the funding provided by SmartCare, each team member will be presented with a gratitu...de hamper for their hard work and dedication at a recognition event. Alex Cross, Bolton Clarke. To help us continue to support and recognise the important work of frontline staff, consider making a donation towards SmartCare here: https://streetsmartaustralia.org/smartcare #smartcare #frontline #homelessness #covid19 #charity #wellbeing

18.01.2022 This week is NAIDOC (National Aboriginal and Islander Day Observance Committee) Week 2020. #NAIDOC2020 invites all Australians to embrace the true history of this country a history which dates back thousands of generations. The theme this year is #AlwaysWasAlwaysWillBe and recognises that First Nations people have occupied and cared for this land for over 65,000 years. Historically, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people have experienced much higher rates of homeless...ness and have been overrepresented among clients seeking homelessness and social housing services than non-Indigenous Australians. Over the last 15 years we have seen an improving housing situation of Indigenous Australians. With rises in home ownership and housing provided through the private rental market, and falling levels of homelessness.* But there is still a long way to go and we need to ensure this is a national priority, with targeted support and housing availability.

It will be great to be able recognise and thank the hard work and dedication of our staff.

14.01.2022 Our residential staff regularly witness and experience vicarious trauma, and are required to navigate within a service system that doesn’t function effectively. You need to be tenacious to work here. SmartCare is an amazing initiative to ensure the well-being of our staff. Many of our staff are over stretched due to constantly going above and beyond. - Grace Rullis, Haymarket Foundation.

13.01.2022 Great to see the Victorian budget step in to provide real social change and support for vulnerable Victorians. Highlights included support and funding for: a massive public housing build/repair program, increasing state care for young people to 21, school disability programs, energy efficiency programs for low income households, improving mental health services, state schools, TAFES, and so much more. This is how to build back better. Click the link for more details: https://www.theage.com.au//lifters-not-leaners-victoria-st

11.01.2022 R U OK? Today is a national day of action to remind everyone to ask someone if they are ok. Did you know that frontline staff working at homeless charities can suffer from ‘vicarious trauma’ through working with traumatised people, and hearing distressing material or stories. That’s why we’ve created SmartCare, to ensure homeless charities have the resources they need to care for the mental and physical wellbeing of their staff.

10.01.2022 We’re excited to announce that just two months after launching SmartCare we have made our first round of SmartCare Grants across five states. 15 organisations were funded with $47,000 worth of grants, impacting an estimated 540 staff. The workload on our frontline essential workers has been relentless over the past 7 months. They are the carers that have kept vulnerable people safe, yet they are often people who do not prioritise their own wellbeing. SmartCare funds will prov...ide mental and physical wellbeing programs for staff.

09.01.2022 Frontline homelessness case work is often distressing and enormously challenging work. Staff burnout happens regularly. Then along came COVID-19. Workers can suffer ‘vicarious trauma’ through working with traumatised people, and hearing distressing material or stories. Yet day in day out essential, frontline workers are there looking after our most vulnerable. This is why we have established SmartCare, a program helping fund mental and physical wellbeing programs at homeless ...organisations, making sure we are supporting our frontline workers.

09.01.2022 The Job Seeker payment with COVID supplement starts to be wound back today. This is a mistake. New Start payments were chronically inadequate driving people into poverty. These new payments provided enough for people to eat, pay rent, start to rebuild lives and live with dignity. These funds are all spent locally and are an excellent economic stimulus. I'd rather this than a tax cut. Thank you to Bane and Pauline for sharing their stories with ABC 7.30 Report. #raisetherateforgood #poverty #homelessness #housingcrisis #raisetherate https://www.abc.net.au//unemployed-facing-end-of-/12700416
