Hello everyone!

I cant believe it is already the last week of Term 1! It has been VERY busy and I am sure we all need a good rest.

This Thursday is World Health Day 2022. See below for information about this year's theme of "Our Planet, Our Health".

There are many special festivals coming up over the holidays, so to our beautifully diverse community, we wish you good health, happiness, connection and peace:




As you know, we are here at GEALC to support you so if you need anything, please get in touch. If you need general welfare or career guidance or any help understanding health, COVID or vaccination information, please ask - I can help you!

Have a great week! 🙂 Lindy
