Victoria's controversial new public intoxication laws take effect tomorrow. Police won't arrest people who are drunk in public on the Cup Day holiday, under a new health-led approach. To discuss, @mikeamor7 spoke with Christopher Turner, Deputy CEO of CoHealth, which is overseeing the new support programs. https://t.co/rJRxhsrlTQ #7NEWS
From today, being drunk in a public place will be treated as a health issue, not a criminal offence.
Our teams are on the street, checking on people's health, asking them about their home life, and helping them to get somewhere safe.

I also want to acknowledge @cohealth_au’s success is in huge part due to the way we partner with communities to design and deliver care. They are the experts in their own health and teach us so much #VPHAwards
Couldn’t be prouder of team @cohealth_au. We strive to create a safe & inclusive workplace in partnership with our communities. We know safe workplaces are a determinant of safe services and we are humbled to be recognised for our systematic approach to supporting LGBTIQ+ health
Another tough morning of news and change.
If you need support, or just someone to speak to, these services are here for you and those around you.

Great to see @cohealth_au supporting the vaccine roll out for public housing residents. Sites also operational in Collingwood, Carlton, Flemington, Kensington, Williamstown and Footscray. @NRCHaus in Richmond and @StarHealthG across the SE.
North Melbourne public housing now has an on-site vaccine clinic, open 5 days a week, with Pfizer AND AstraZeneca! Any public housing resident 16 years old or over can come down for a free, safe vaccine Mon-Fri 10.30-4pm. Bottom of 159 Melrose St tower. #springst
Fantastic to see the @cohealth_au COVID-19 vaccine site at Fitzroy public high rise towers, friendly faces supporting our community @VictorianCHO@euan_wallace 👏👏
Thank you Minister Mikakos for acknowledging the work of cohealth and the Community Health sector for the response we are providing to vulnerable communities during the pandemic. @cohealth_au @JennyMikakos
Proud to work for the organisation named as preferred partner for Victoria’s second #MSIR. Acknowledge much consultation still required before a way forward confirmed. Applaud folks at @NRCHaus on leadership shown in proving this life saving public health policy.
Respect Women: call it out:
As a proud male ally and champion of gender equity I call on all men to take the lead in their networks and communities by speaking out about gendered violence and challenging violence-supportive attitudes #everydaysexism
@cohealth_au values our relationship with @BrimbankCouncil and is excited to join the launch of The 2020 Transforming Brimbank Agenda - an Agenda to maximise the job, education, health, environmental and fairness opportunities for the region for decades to come.
