We chose this theme in recognition of the invaluable contribution water makes to the many large manufacturers that operate in north- east Victoria. Whether they’re operating abattoirs or making pine products, the presence of clean, reliable water is an essential ingredient to their success. Furthermore, the success of these industries naturally contributes to the success and development of towns and cities across the entire Values region. However, like the rest of the community, industry has a responsibility to use water in the most efficient way possible.

  • Community Benefits Report 2017 Introduction
    RSL Victoria Community Benefits Report 2017 Introduction RSL Victoria’s key mission is to provide support services to current and former service men and women and their dependents in times of need. This has been our core mission since our establishment in 1916 and now, over one hundred years later, we continue to uphold our mission during significant Commemorative events throughout the year supporting our volunteers, staff and extended community. There are over 280 Sub-Branches throughout the state of Victoria and it is likely that when travelling from the most north east point to the most south west point of the state, you will come across numerous sets of RSL signage, Cenotaphs and Avenues of Honour. Our presence represents the outpouring of support for the Returned & Services League by Victorians of all ages in these communities. In 2017, our licensed Sub-Branches collectively donated over $7.7 million in support of their communities and contributed over $89 million in community benefits. Heading into our second century, we hope that it will be one which would stand out as a time of inspiration, motivation and collaboration. Our network of more than 11,000 volunteers, over 2,200 staff and 190,011 members will ensure that it will be a fabulous year for the RSL and its community throughout Victoria. The 2017 Community Benefits Report provides an overview of successes throughout the year. We are thankful for the support of our volunteers and cannot underestimate the significant role they play within the community, having donated more than 710,000 hours in 2017 alone.

  • Reform of the Psychiatric Disability Rehabilitation and Support Services Program
    Mental Health Community Support Services June 2014 Fact Sheet 2: Information for Existing Clients Fact Sheet: Information for Existing Clients This fact sheet provides information for current clients of mental health community support services provided under the Victorian Psychiatric Disability Rehabilitation and Support Services (PDRSS) program. It includes information about the changes that will happen to these services over the next few months, when these changes will occur and how the changes might affect you. As part of these changes the Victorian Government will also change the name of the PDRSS program to Mental Health Community Support Services (MHCSS) program from August 2014. This change is about supporting you. The changes will ensure access to mental health community support services is fair and equitable by ensuring people most disabled by their mental health condition do not miss out on the support they need. The reforms will make it easier for new and returning consumers and carers to get help no matter where they live. This will be achieved by establishing a centralised intake point for all referrals in each local area. A fact sheet explaining how the new intake assessment system will work will be made available shortly. We also know you want services to be of a consistent quality and designed around your individual needs and preferences. This is why we are introducing Individualised Client Support Packages. They will replace standard, moderate and intensive Home Based Outreach Services, Day Programs, Care Coordination, Aged Intensive Program and Special Client Packages from 1 August 2014. Your support package will help you to develop the life skills needed to live well in the community and to manage your mental illness.
