Connection Cards to help you #StayConnected
hello • 23 March 2020
Across Australia and the world people are facing an unprecedented situation as our health authorities and governments act to manage the spread of COVID-19 (coronavirus). For detailed, accurate information about these measures please visit the Department of Health website.
It’s very normal to not feel OK in challenging times such as these. We must continue to promote a sense of community, reach out and ask our friends, family and colleagues, “Are you OK?”.
If you’re feeling well and able to support someone, practically or emotionally, you can use our 'Connection Cards' to let them know you’re there to help now and for as long as they need.
