With its recent Rainbow Tick Accreditation CHIRP Community Health aims to maintain its strong support of the local LGBTIQA+ community.

A Survey Monkey has been generated by Sherene Clow in her Working For Victoria role as LGBTIQA+ Engagement Officer as a means to ascertain what the local LGBTIQA+ community members would like to see happen to foster community connection and social support.

CHIRP CH is encouraging anyone who identifies as LGBTIQA+ to take a couple of minutes to fill in this quick 10 question survey.

“Don’t forget to sign up to our mailing list as well to stay informed as to what is happening in this space,” Sherene said.

ClickView and Aussie Inventions That Changed the World

During Term 4 2020, we’re running a nationwide search for Australia’s next generation of inventors. Introducing the Aussie Student Inventions Competition! With the help of some of Australia’s leading innovators, we’re giving you the chance to pitch and showcase your inventions to our panel of experts. Within each category (primary, lower secondary, senior secondary, TAFE and university), there are incredible prizes up for grabs for the most impressive submissions. You’ll have the opportunity to receive mentoring and guidance from our panel, to help make your concept or prototype a reality.

To help guide you in your quest, we’ve partnered with the producers of Aussie Inventions That Changed The World, to give you a better understanding of why we invent things. Your submitted invention can be any type, size or functionality. It could solve a problem, make life more interesting or just be incredibly cool!

Residents are encouraged to get physically active across the Loddon Campaspe region while having some fun at the same time by taking part in Adventure Bingo - a new initiative from the Healthy Heart of Victoria.

Adventure Bingo invites residents to collect or download an Adventure Bingo booklet and participate in one of six walks in each of the participating local government areas. Through the initiative participants spot points of interest listed in the booklet during their walk and once they’ve spotted three items in a vertical, horizontal or diagonal line, they’ve got Bingo.

The Mount Alexander Shire Adventure Bingo walk is a Castlemaine city circuit starting at Victory Park on the corner of Barker and Mostyn Streets. Bingo booklets are available for free at Castlemaine Visitor Information Centre and Castlemaine Library or here.

As part of the initiative, a series of weekly prize draws will be conducted from Monday 23 November to Sunday 13 December, where residents who submit a photo of their completed Bingo card to hhv@bendigo.vic.gov.au will go into the draw to win sporting equipment. Participants can also upload a photo of themselves at one of the sites on their Bingo card to Facebook and tag Healthy Heart of Victoria to enter a special photo prize draw.

Other Adventure Bingo walks are located in Rochester, Maryborough, Bendigo, Wedderburn and Kyneton. The names of winners will be announced each week on the @Heathy Heart of Victoria Facebook page.
