19.01.2022 COVID-19 is making some Australians feel anxious and worried. Several organisations are available 24/7 that can provide mental health support.

18.01.2022 Good mental health and well being is important for all of us. It allows us to develop and maintain healthy relationships with others, respond and cope with the stresses of life and to enjoy all that life has to offer. This year we have all be affected by Covid 19, some struggling more than others. Some great information has been released today, a little snippet of a document provided on the RU OK website is shown below. I have also attached their Guide to Supporting RU OK Day for those who may be interested. If you aren't feeling yourself and need to talk, remember you are never alone. If you can't speak to a family member or friend you can always call Beyond Blue - 1300 224 636 or Lifeline 13 11 14.

18.01.2022 The Chief Health Officer recommends that adults living in areas under Stage 3 restrictions wear a face mask when outside your home if it is difficult to keep 1....5 metres apart from other people. To wear a face mask correctly: > The mask should fit snug on your face. > Be secured by ties at the back of your head or ear loops. > Ensure that your mask does not have holes or a valve, or tears or broken loops. This can result in breathing out the virus if you have coronavirus (COVID-19). > Wash your hands or use 60% hand sanitiser before putting the face mask on and off. The recommendation to wear a face mask does not apply to children (people aged under 18 years), individuals with breathing difficulties, and those who have physical conditions that make it difficult to wear a face mask. There is no enforcement on the wearing of face masks. You will not be fined if you dont wear one. Whilst wearing a face mask adds an additional protective physical barrier to protect you and your loved ones, Victorians still need to keep 1.5 metres from others, wash your hands often, and cough or sneeze into your elbow or tissue.
