A departure has left a vacancy that is yet to be filled and has placed a huge workload onto senior physiotherapist Ngareta Melgren. The added difficulty for Ms Melgren is that she is also Community Health team leader and a member of the RNH executive. If you can help please contact Ngareta Melgren on 5396 1238 $120,000 INVESTMENT IN GRAMPIANS COMMUNITY HEALTH YOUTH PROGRAMS The Nationals member for Lowan Hugh Delahunty said the Victorian Coalition Government is investing $120,000 in Horsham to help young people develop skills, build confidence and make new connections for life after school. “Grampians Community Health – CoNexus in Horsham will receive the funding to support a range of local initiatives for young people,” Mr Delahunty said “The Grampians Community Health project will provide young people with enriching and empowering experiences and vocational skills development for youth, within creative activities. CoNexus caters for the personal wellbeing of young people in the community in an environment that is welcoming and safe,” Mr Delahunty said. Nationals’ candidate for Lowan Emma Kealy welcomed the funding from the Coalition Government’s Engage program which will help more young people in the Horsham area live active, healthy and fulfilling lives. “The Engage programs build on the Coalition Government’s commitment to give young people in western Victoria more opportunities to get involved in their local community and to develop skills that will help them in education and along employment pathways,” Ms Kealy said. Mr Delahunty said this investment in Horsham forms part of the Coalition Government’s $12 million Engage program. “Through the Engage program, more than 100 Victorian organisations are assisting young people to make the most of volunteering and mentoring opportunities, helping them to develop wide-ranging skills for education, training and employment,” Mr Delahunty said. “The Engage program is another example of how the Coalition Government is working with the community to give young people more opportunities to follow their dreams and achieve their best,” Mr Delahunty said.

  • For VFBV District Councils
    For VFBV District Councils This list shows responses from Victorian State MPs to VFBV’s 11 June letter on the issue of presumptive legislation – the firefighters’ cancer law that would simplify the path to cancer compensation for Victorian volunteer and career firefighters. District Councils are encouraged to use this list as part of their planning to ensure that volunteers contact all State MPs in their area and seek their support on this important issue. See the VFBV website for more information on the issue, including a copy of our ‘Notes for MPs’ that volunteers can present to MPs. As at 22 August 2013; There has been strong support from the Greens, who have presented draft legislation to State Parliament, and in-principle support from Labor The Coalition Government has not committed to supporting presumptive legislation. VFBV is committed to working with all Victorian MPs to secure all-party support for fairer and simpler access to cancer compensation for Victorian volunteer and career firefighters and a part of that is having volunteers talk to their local MPs. See below for the response received from individual MPs, listed in alphabetical order. Please advise the VFBV office of any contacts made and responses from MPs. Name, Party and Electorate Have they replied to VFBV’s Summary of the MPs’ advice or actions letter of 11 June 2013? Jacinta Allan No Supportive: Yes. Labor Bendigo East Shadow Minister for Emergency Services Jacinta Allan issued a media release on 6 February 2013, calling for the State Government to take part in round table discussions and stating that Labor supports the principal of presumptive legislation and wants to work with all parties on progressing this Bill through Parliament.
