"I’m getting vaccinated to say 'goodbye COVID'." What a fantastic message from our friends at @NWMelbPHN. The Victorian community sector is stepping up to help encourage people to get the #JabDone. 🔗nwmphn.org.au/GoodbyeCovid
A big shoutout to Victoria’s arts sector which also released its own upbeat, pro-vaccination ad today. Creatives and community workers are on a unity ticket here. Let’s get vaccinated — and back to the good things! 🎭 ❤️
We're launching our own open-access video campaign to encourage people to get their COVID-19 vaccination. As a peak body, VCOSS can’t increase vaccine supply or get ‘needles into arms'. But we can help get people into vaccination centers.
Government's fund what they truly value. Right now, the Victorian Government is preparing to quietly slash funding to the state's frontline charities and social service organisations. You thank us for our work. Often. Please fund us properly for it, too. #SpringSt
What do social service groups and support agencies think of the Federal Budget? We've got you covered, with rolling updates here. 👇 @ACOSS @cassandragoldie @EmmaKingVic vcoss.org.au/analysis/2021/…
How's the COVID vaccine rollout going, and how does it affect your workplace? This free online session next week will cover: 👩⚕️ Practical questions surrounding the vaccine + ⚖ Associated legal issues for employers @JustitiaLawyers @VicGovDH Register: events.humanitix.com/vaccinating-vi…
More than 130 changes to Victoria’s renting rules come into effect on 29 March 2021. Want to know more about them and how they'll affect you? Join us from 9.30am to find out more 👇 vcoss.org.au/RentersRights

COVID changed not just the world, but the date of the Victorian budget too. So we've updated our budget submission. Read our plan for a fair and inclusive post-pandemic recovery. 👇 vcoss.org.au/wellbeing2020 #SpringSt
Maintaining good mental health and wellbeing has never been more important than during the pandemic. We'll talk you through some practical advice on how to stay on top of things. 👉 7:30pm TONIGHT on Facebook: facebook.com/events/2913456…
Here's our basic three ingredient recipe to end homelessness in Victoria. ◆ One part vision. ◆ Two parts social housing. ◆ Sprinkle with wrap around support services. (Serves everybody.)
🚨 IMPORTANT NOTE 🚨 The critical services provided by VCOSS members will continue to operate under the new restrictions just announced—though things may look a little different.
Our wrap of the weekend's key COVID-19 announcements is now online. mailchi.mp/vcoss/covid-19…
When the community is doing it tough, community organisations step up. Here are just some of the 59 organisations taking on new workers as part of the Victorian Government's Working for Victoria scheme. Creating jobs. Supporting communities. Building a stronger Victoria.
JobSeeker looks certain to be cut back. ✂️ So what will this mean for Australians out of work? Here's a handy (and terrifying) reference guide...
This pandemic is far from over. The Commonwealth must continue financial support to Victoria as COVID-19 rears its head again. 🚨🚨 MEDIA ALERT 🚨🚨 vcoss.org.au/news/pandemic-…
"If we get this wrong, the consequences will be horrific." VCOSS statement on public housing lockdowns. 👇 vcoss.org.au/news/public-ho…
The Commonwealth has finally been dragged kicking and screaming to the acknowledgement that Newstart (renamed JobSeeker) has been way too low, for way too long. There's now talk of a tiny increase. But it's not enough. We need a real increase—so everybody can afford the basics.
You can now register for next week's COVID-19 Community Services Digital Forum. We'll be covering: 🧴Current health advice 📍Navigating outbreak zones 🏢Returning to work 🏠Housing/homelessness 🙎🏽♀️Family violence Speaker details, tickets, etc: bit.ly/2NsCJWs
