“The people coughing, the people gasping for air - it was terrifying.”

Sam was admitted to the COVID ward, struggling to breathe, to the sound of others around him coughing and gasping for air. One by one, he watched patients get taken into negative pressure rooms, sealed off by multiple doors, with no support network. As a healthcare worker who’s now recovering at home, Sam’s hope is that in this fight against coronavirus, we all understand that we are the front line. We all have a part to play by staying home to help stop the spread of the virus. If you have symptoms - please get tested. Payments of $450 are available to help you stay home and wait for your test result.

NSW-VIC border changes take effect. On Friday 4 September, a single border region was reinstated. This means that more people living on the NSW-Victoria border can go to work, school, provide care, buy groceries and access necessary services. However, border residents are still encouraged to access local services, and work from home where possible. New border region resident permits are available online, but if you have an existing border zone permit, it’s still valid until its expiry date. Remember to always follow your state’s COVID-19 guidelines. If you are asked to stay home, you must. If you have any symptoms of COVID-19, stay home and get tested.
