15.01.2022 Cooroy is ‘Stepping Out for Mental Health’. For the month of October, teams of three will be getting physical and recording their steps all in the name of menta...l health. The Black Dog Institute details that mental illness is the leading cause of absence and long-term incapacity in the workplace. For young people, one in four 16-24 year olds experience high to very high levels of psychological stress. By ‘Stepping Out for Mental Health’, we are alleviating symptoms of depression by increasing energy levels, improving sleep, providing social support, reducing loneliness by exercising with others and increasing a sense of control and self-esteem by taking an active role in our own wellbeing. Teams of parents and teachers from Cooroy State School are challenging the high school, the local police, fire and ambulance as well as local businesses and organisations to get a team together and take us on. To get on board it is as easy as S.T.E.P.S. ‘Stepping Out’ kicks off on Monday the 5th of October. Check out our promo video here https://youtu.be/TVer9muInnA Sign-up every team member needs to register at www.10000steps.org.au Team Email your team’s details to [email protected] including your team name, team members and each team member’s email address Encourage others to join in!

This is a hard border closure and apart from very few essential exempt persons such as for freight or those living in cross border towns, there will be very few exemptions granted. Queenslanders currently in these states, need to return home urgently, by Friday night! Even Queensland residents will not be permitted to cross the border by vehicle after this time and instead will only be permitted to fly into QLD. They will need to make alternate freight arrangements for their vehicles and will still be required to enter mandatory hotel quarantine for 14 days at their own expense. Please contact any locals you know who may be in Victoria, New South Wales or ACT to rush home by Friday night. The new border information will be updated online as quickly as possible at the following links or you can watch the media announcement from this morning on any of the major news sites: BORDER RESTRICTION INFORMATION - www.qld.gov.au//public-health-directio/border-restrictions DECLARED HOTSPOTS - www.qld.gov.au//coronavir/current-status/hotspots-covid-19 OFFICIAL BORDER RESTRICTION DIRECTIONS - www.health.qld.gov.au//cho-public-heal/border-restrictions EXEMPTION APPLICATIONS - healthserviceportal.health.qld.gov.au/hdsp
