Victorians can now access a new monovalent XBB.1.5 COVID-19 vaccine. This vaccine is closely targeted at currently circulating Omicron subvariants of COVID-19 and protects against severe disease, hospitalisation and death.

@RonniSalt … truth is the first casualty of war …

The world is supposed to stand up for innocent people.

No matter where.

No matter when.

No matter who.

I support an immediate ceasefire, an end to the killing of innocent people and respect for international, human rights and humanitarian law.

@emergency_CNS Elaborate on what you've provided in your CV and tailor it to what they're looking for in the role.

[Sandra Gates @Sandradgates]

@emergency_CNS If the job is in projects, then I’d prepare for a question about engaging multiple stakeholders and also reaching consensus.

[Sandra Gates @Sandradgates]

@emergency_CNS As well as what others have already said, ‘what do you see as your areas of development are if you got this role and how would you address them?'

[The Royal Melbourne Hospital @TheRMH]

We want to acknowledge the associated discussions around the referendum, and now the ‘no’ outcome, have been distressing and confronting for many and traumatic for some First Nations peoples.

The RMH remains firmly committed to improving care for First Nations peoples.

[Sandra Gates @Sandradgates]

@TracyWesterman I'm happy to be one of those donors!

[First Peoples' Assembly of Victoria @firstpeoplesvic]

We acknowledge the many non-Aboriginal people who support us and are also hurting with the referendum result.

Thank you for your solidarity 💪🏽
