Local Aboriginal COVID-19 response networks
Aboriginal communities are working to establish Local Aboriginal COVID-19 Response Networks to help deliver important services local communities.
The networks, to be completed with the Victorian Government, will be designed to be a platform where community members and organisations can access and share information about the COVID-19 pandemic and its impacts; seek referral points; raise systemic issues and risks directly to government; and identify gaps in the mainstream and Aboriginal-specific COVID-19 response.
Each network will have at least one coordinator and will provide a single point of contact for the Aboriginal community in engaging with government and accessing dedicated resources in relation to the COVID-19 response and recovery.
