Dear Tandem members and supporters,
Due to the state of emergency recently announced by the Victorian Government based on COVID-19 health advice, Tandem has suspended all group meetings for the foreseeable future, however will continue to provide support to you via telephone on the Tandem Support and Referral line 1800 314 325.
As you may be aware, many organisations have cancelled events and conferences, which are now being postponed to the end of the year.
We will continue to keep you updated in our ENEWS.
In regards to our Members’ Meeting with the Commissioners on April 7th we are now exploring ways to run this event remotely while providing you with the opportunity to send questions in and have them addressed by the Royal Commission into Victoria’s Mental Health System.
These are testing times and I am hopeful that we can all show kindness and compassion to each other as we navigate our way through such uncharted territory.
In the meantime, we ask that you take steps to manage your own risks by:
- Knowing what to do to avoid/minimise exposure;
- Recognising symptoms; and
- Knowing what to do if symptoms are present.
If you or a family member has been travelling recently or been in close contact with someone who has recently travelled, and are exhibiting fever or respiratory symptoms we kindly ask you to please seek medical advice.
