The Victorian Department of Health’s Targeted Programs Team would appreciate your library’s help to spread the word about their upcoming 2023 Winter Update: COVID-19 Online Forum for people with disability.
COVID-19 continues to be part of our lives and threatens the health and wellbeing of Victorians every day, disproportionally affecting the health and wellbeing of people with disabilities.
Join on 1 May 2023, 11AM – 12:30PM, for an online forum with Victoria’s leading health and disability specialists to hear the latest updates on COVID-19 transmission in Victoria, vaccination including the 2023 booster, learn about the latest science on Long COVID, as well as hear about positive adaptations and strategies for addressing COVID-19 health risks for people with disabilities and disability organisations.
Participants will be given the opportunity to have questions answered during the forum.

Your right to ask: Victorian Legal Services Board and Commissioner (VLSB+C)
Navigating the law and the legal system can be hard. However, encouraging people to ask the right questions to their lawyer can simplify the process.
While a lawyer is there to support people with their legal issues, the Victorian Legal Services Board and Commissioner (VLSB+C) can provide free but valuable assistance in identifying the right questions to ask. This may include questions about billing, communicating effectively with their lawyer and clarification of their lawyer’s obligations.
What you can do to help
As a trusted stakeholder in the community, the VLSB+C would appreciate your library’s help in spreading awareness about the importance of asking lawyers the right questions. They’ve developed a campaign supporter kit that includes the key campaign messages and materials to share with your networks and community.
