The 2019/2020 year has seen ministry offered in new ways across the diocese. The Anam Cara Community has continued to offer a ministry of encouragement in the spiritual journey. In 2020 this has been done in a quieter way, primarily via regular communication through the e-newsletter Waterholes. Quiet Days and Thanksgiving Service Facilitating Quiet days, open to all, is one of the main priorities of the Community. These days provide people with the opportunity to intentionally draw aside from the busyness of everyday life. Taking time to connect with the land, with nature, with one another and with God. Prior to the periods of lockdown the Community facilitated two Quiet Days. In September 2019 The Rev’d Ken Parker led a day at St Mary’s Morwell. Ken introduced those present to the artwork of Ann Greenwood and throughout the day there were opportunities to sit with the embroideries and absorb and respond as people felt led. A thanksgiving service was held in the Lady Chapel at St Paul’s Cathedral to conclude the year. Newly elected Canon of the Cathedral, The Rev’d David Head, presided and preached and Dean Susanna Pain led those present in a time of quiet prayer of reflection and thanksgiving for the past year. Stones were gently placed in water to represent things that we were leaving behind as we entered Advent and then flowers floated on the water to symbolise the many things we were thankful for. Lunch and fellowship were enjoyed together. In March 2020 The Rev’d David Head hosted another day at Morwell where he led participants on a journey through a variety of images of art works. David gave us some insight as to the artist’s intentions, to his own responses and invited each of us in the times of silence to be open to our own thoughts and feelings. The wonderful Arthur Boyd mural was a constant companion in the reflection time as were the other art works and stained glass that form part of the worship space at St Mary’s. The two further Quiet Days planned for 2020 were postponed due to the need to keep everyone safe and follow the necessary guidelines. Communication via Waterholes Waterholes is the e-newsletter produced fortnightly by the Community. In this year of physical isolation we used Waterholes as a source of communication and encouragement. We were pleased to liaise with Bishop 3 Richard and Dean Susanna in promoting the Diocesan resource of the online Sunday Services produced at the Cathedral and available via the Diocesan website. I would like to thank Bishop Richard, Dean Susanna and all who continue to work hard in offering this valuable ministry. I have coordinated with Dean Susanna in printing the sermons from each fortnight in Waterholes along with prayer points, photo reflections and information about other ways of connecting during the periods of lockdown. Dean Susanna has led a number of Quiet afternoons via Zoom and it has been good to be able to connect the readers of Waterholes with these opportunities for spiritual encouragement when face to face meetings were not possible. Thank you Susanna. Servant Leaders Jane Griffiths continues in the role of Soul Carer of the Community and she is supported by Kate Campbell, The Rev’d David Head, Sue Hopkins, Val Lawrence and Carolyn Raymond and The Rev’d Heather Toms. We have been delighted to journey alongside Kate, who will be ordained to the Distinctive Deaconate, in February 2021. This servant leadership group meet to oversee governance and administrative matters, to pray, organise Quiet Days and plan for Community events. This year most Community matters and meetings have been on hold as we have joined in prayer for the world, the diocese and each other from our homes. Finances We are a self funded Community, operating through the subscriptions of Associates and donations on Quiet Days. We thank Kate Campbell who faithfully keeps our books. Thanksgiving I wish to acknowledge and thank Bishop Richard, Dean Susanna and The Rev’d David Perryman for their encouragement and support of the Community. David continues to manage our website and assists in any technical challenges we have. Thanks also to the clergy who contribute reflections for Waterholes, their ministry is much appreciated. I am also thankful for each of the Servant Leaders for their faithful ministry to the Community and support of me as Soul Carer. For, and on behalf of the Servant Leaders, Jane Griffiths 4 ANGLICARE VICTORIA REPORT TO THE SYNOD OF THE DIOCESE OF GIPPSLAND 2020 FROM TIM PEDLOW REGIONAL DIRECTOR Introduction It’s been quite a year since our last Anglicare Victoria report to Synod, with devastating bushfires across large parts of East Gippsland and now the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite these challenges I am very proud of how our staff have continued to respond and provide services to those most in need across Gippsland. At Anglicare Victoria we assist children, young people, adults and families to make positive changes in their lives and much of our work is made possible with the support of our community and in particular the Anglican community. Whether it be through donations, people who volunteer their time, or those who open their homes to children through Foster Care - we thank you for your support. COVID-19 Anglicare Victoria continues to provide services to those most at need across Gippsland, albeit in more creative and innovative ways. AV are closely following developments and advice from various national and international Government bodies and providing services in line with Government Guidelines, which includes face to face support to clients when needed and following the Health Assessment guidelines provided by Government. Anglicare Victoria continues to work within its Critical Response Procedure and Business Continuity Plan so that essential services and support to our clients can continue. Anglicare Victoria were called upon by the Victorian Government to provide support to the residents of two public housing towers in North Melbourne/Flemington when they went into Lockdown in July. We had a great response from our Gippsland staff who were part of this team including Josie Stubbe and Brooke Pym who took up leadership roles as part of our response. Structural Changes During the early part of 2020, we went live with a new Executive Structure which saw the introduction of two Divisional Directors within Anglicare. This was then ratified in June due to the community needs and the positions were changed to Director Project Development and Director Operations. Marianne Watson was appointed as the Director Operations and this new position the Regional Director now reports to and will position us well into the future so as we can continue to respond to growth in our services. Following from this the services we now offer the Gippsland community have grown considerably over recent years and we continue to review our local structure accordingly. In October we implemented a fifth Program Steam across Gippsland which will be known as the “Family Safety and Children” stream. Accordingly we recruited to a 12 month Program Manager position to oversee these operations, Peta Speight was the successful candidate. 5 Program Funding During late 2019, Gippsland was successful with our submission to deliver the TRAK Forward program in both Inner and Outer Gippsland in partnership with the Salvation Army and Windermere. The program has been operational since 1st January 2020. TRAK Forward is a suite of therapeutic interventions aimed at meeting the unique needs of family violence victim- survivors and their children. This ongoing funding in the Family Violence space is significant and further reinforces Anglicare Victoria’s capability supporting victim survivors of Family Violence There was also an increase in services for Targeted Care Packages (TCP’s) in our Placement Prevention and Reunification suite of services. The packages are creative and innovative placements developed for Young People up until they turn 18 years of age. TCP’s are wrap-around services incorporating all aspects of support required in order for them to successfully transition out of residential care or to prevent entry to residential care. We have partnered with the Victorian Government through the Working for Victoria Fund to employ 88 staff in a range of roles, of which we have 10 roles here in Gippsland. In summary, we have employed: • 4 Community Support staff offering phone and outreach-based support to vulnerable and isolated individuals and families in Victoria dealing with the impact of coronavirus (COVID-19) and social distancing requirements. • 6 Financial Wellbeing staff counselling and supporting Victorians struggling with the financial impacts of coronavirus (COVID-19). These staff are people who have lost their employment as a result of the pandemic, and will be engaged with us for up to six months.

  • Australian Education Amendment (Direct Measure of Income) Bill 2020 [Provisions]
    COALITION OF REGIONAL INDEPENDENT SCHOOLS AUSTRALIA www.crisa.org.au Senate Education and Employment Legislation Committee Inquiry into the Australian Education Amendment (Direct Measure of Income) Bill 2020 [Provisions] Submission by the Coalition of Regional Independent Schools Australia 12 March 2020 Senate Education and Employment Legislation Committee Inquiry into the Australian Education Amendment (Direct Measure of Income) Bill 2020 [Provisions] Submission by the Coalition of Regional Independent Schools Australia Who Are We? The Coalition of Regional Independent Schools Australia (CRISA) was formed to support the continued provision of quality education through independent day and boarding schools which serve communities across rural, regional and outer-metropolitan Australia. Member schools share a concern that proposed Commonwealth ‘DMI’ funding will seriously undermine their operations. Summary 1.1 CRISA advocates fair funding for all schools. 1.2 CRISA supports the general principle of measuring a school’s need for funding by reference to its parents’ incomes. 1.3 Regulations to accompany this legislation currently use a school’s parents’ median income to calculate “capacity to contribute”. This means that funding is determined by the income of the wealthier half of the school community. This is not fair. 1.4 Regional parents have limited choice of independent schooling, so regional schools must cater for a broad spread of parental incomes and make schooling affordable for those with modest “capacity to contribute”. 1.5 Because established regional and outer-metropolitan schools are mostly in the mid-range of SES, the largest burden of funds-shifting falls on them. 1.6 The median income funding model, if not varied, will result in many regional schools losing millions of dollars of funding.
