By Meg Hill A Melbourne Knowledge Week (MKW) event posed the question “What if Melbourne was underwater?” To which the answer was given: it was, it is and it will be. It wasn’t what everyone was expecting. Although the discussion was around the impact of climate change, it was mostly about rivers and floodwater. One audience member spoke in the discussion to point this out: “The obvious thing for me are rising sea levels”. Which is definitely one aspect of it. According to the Climate Risk website, if ocean levels were to rise at current predictions, most of Docklands would be underwater by the end of the century. But it’s not entirely a different issue. Most of the increasingly volatile weather that causes overland floods is because of the same changes in climate that cause sea levels to A little bit of our part of Melbourne was underwater on May 10.

    Foster Care Association of Victoria Celebrating 20 years of supporting Victorian carers www.fcav.org.au Protecting Victoria‟s Vulnerable Children Inquiry The Protecting Victoria‟s Vulnerable Children Inquiry Report was tabled in state parliament on 28 February 2012 by the Minister for Community Services, the Hon Mary Wooldridge. Comprising 90 recommendations, and a further 20 „list of findings and matters for attention‟, the report is a comprehensive and robust document. It outlines all elements of the child protection and vulnerable children sector, the current state of play, and the changes needed to meet and improve our response as a sector, community and state to the needs of vulnerable children in Victoria. Upon release of the report, The Age newspaper highlighted the growing „cost of care‟ referred to in the report. The article, detailed below, featuring our own Vice President, Tracey Cocks, clearly illustrated the need for improved funding approaches for foster, kinship and permanent carers in Victoria. We highlight further key recommendations on pages 6 and 7. The cost of caring - $65,000 out of pocket Michelle Griffin, The Age, February 29, 2012 TRACEY Cocks knew it cost her more than she received from the state government to foster four young children, but she didn't realise just how much until the the state's inquiry asked her to calculate her out-of-pocket expenses. ''It was $65,000 a year,'' she says. ''After tax, after reimbursement. How are they going to get people to foster children if they realise they're going to be paying for it themselves?'' Ms Cocks and her partner took on their first foster child as a baby 5½ years ago, and now care for her three siblings also, ranging in age from nine to a baby.
