Prevention/Health Promotion
Healthy Choices at REDHS Cafe
We would like to extend our congratulations to Rochester and Elmore District Health Service for achieving a
30% increase in Green sales and a reduction of 35% of Red sales. REDHS are leading the way in the Healthier
Campaspe initiative to implement the Healthy Choice guidelines with great results, click here to view an
infographic of their recent changes achievements.
Mental Health First Aid Courses
Two mental health first aid courses were funded by the Victorian Government & Mental Health First Aid
Australia to support the dairy industry and were delivered April/early May. A three day course was held in
Gunbower with 12 participants and a two day course was held in Echuca with 17 participants. The feedback
was excellent.
Gender Equity Training
Women's Health Loddon Mallee recently facilitated two Gender Equity Workshops for health and community
service organisations in Campaspe. More training will be made available over coming months. For more
information please contact Tracie Pearson on 5484 4304.
LGBTIQ Resource
Campaspe is home to many people who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender,
intersex and queer (LGBTIQ). While LGBTIQ encompasses diverse communities and
individuals, LGBTIQ people share generally poorer health and wellbeing outcomes than
the heterosexual and cisgendered community. We have recently developed this list to
assist people to access resources and information.
Respectful Language Resource
Acknowledging and respecting social and cultural diversity requires using language that is inclusive of social
and cultural diversity and avoiding language that discriminates, excludes or harasses individuals and groups of
people. Inclusive language is language that does not stereotype or demean people based on personal
characteristics including gender, race, ethnicity, disability, religion, sexual orientation etc. This fact sheet identifies
specific respectful and inclusive terminology in relation to these characteristics. It aims to assist organisations to
acknowledge all members of society on an equal basis through modes of communication, particularly
language. It suggests ways of avoiding unnecessary and unintended offence providing appropriate examples of
inclusive language.
Public consultations on information sharing schemes and Family Violence Risk Assessment and Risk
Management Framework

Sharing Scheme (FVIS Scheme), and the redeveloped Family Violence Risk Assessment and Risk
Management Framework (the Framework) are taking place between May and July:

Service Integration
National Health Services Directory (NHSD) - Are Your Details Up-To-Date?
The NHSD allows people to search for services across Australia by postcode, keywords and service type. This
could be an issue if your organisation's details are not listed or out-of-date.

Evaluation of the NDIS: Consolidated report
In May 2013, the Department of Social Services commissioned a consortium led by the National Institute of
Labour Studies at Flinders University to conduct an evaluation of the National Disability Insurance Scheme trial
sites. The evaluation of the NDIS Consolidated Report contains findings based on all data collections
undertaken over the course of the evaluation, including surveys and interviews with NDIS participants, their
families and carers, disability support providers and other stakeholders. The VHA has developed a briefing that
looks at a number of the themes and draws out key findings relating to concerns and challenges raised by
public sector providers of disability supports in Victoria. Access the briefing here

Volunteering Project
The recent inaugural Health and Wellbeing Day for Volunteers was a great success! This
event was held on a very sunny mid-May morning with around 80 Volunteers from across the
Campaspe and Murray converging on the Echuca Aquatic Reserve. Organised by the Vibrant
Volunteer Co-ordinators Network, the volunteers participated in walks around the Aquatic
Reserve, Line Dancing, Tai Chi, a morning tea and a complementary paddlesteamer ride. Given
the success of the morning, the network are excited to plan future yearly events to celebrate our
wonderful volunteering community.
Pictured above are members of the Vibrant Volunteer Network and Heather Walleden from

Over 80 Volunteers enjoyed the Volunteering Wellbeing Event including Crossenvale House
Volunteers.
