09.01.2022 The team at the Y will be working through the Premiers announcement this week but it's fair to say we still have a little way to go before we can re-open for community sport, better news for accommodation and early childhood care programs like vacation care. At least we all know the rules and the milestones that will trigger moving from one step to another. This gives us the opportunity to prepare...so we will keep preparing. How quickly we transition from being open totally... depends on us as a community doing the right things. We miss seeing our members and staff and will do everything we can to keep our community safe. https://www.vic.gov.au/industry-restrictions-roadmap-region

08.01.2022 Feel Safe, Be Safe This week is National Child Protection Week and in this difficult time we have learnt that protecting our kids online has never been more important. Today the eSafety Commissioner alerted us to a distressing report about a video of a suicide circulating social media platforms. eSafety has contacted social media companies about the reports and will continue working with them to monitor the situation.
