Health Information

Now winter is here, influenza (flu) cases have been rising across Victoria and, of course, COVID-19 cases persist. This is placing additional pressure on schools and early childhood services who are doing their best to keep children, families and staff as safe as possible.

Remember, viruses spread quickly when there is close contact - especially when a child is coughing and sneezing. Vaccination is an effective way to reduce the spread of the flu this season.
