SafetyNet 595

Welcome to the September 29 edition of SafetyNet - it has been a stressful week all around for those of us in Victoria. While vaccination levels have increased, so too have the number of new infections.

We urge everyone, in Victoria and around Australia, to get vaccinated as soon as possible, and comply with the public health orders.

Visit our We Are Union: OHS Reps Facebook page for news, memes and more. If you have any questions or need any advice, we can be reached via the Ask Renata facility on the website or through the closed OHS Network Facebook page.
