The Australian Rotary Health September 2022 newsletter is available here. This edition focuses on a new research program that will support research designed to improve the mental health of Australian children between 0-12 years.
The attached September newsletter brings you up to date with progress on our Give Every Child a Future (GECAF) project. It’s really exciting to have reached the stage of being nearly fully funded, and seeing extensive activity across the Pacific countries that are benefiting from the immunisation program. Events beyond Rotary's control meant we could not produce a June newsletter but the September edition is a bumper one. Our immunisation program rollouts have gained momentum as COVID-19 restrictions have eased and borders in Pacific countries start to re-open.
Thank you to Barbara Yerondais for last week's reflection.
Last week’s meeting guest speaker was Olivia Spalding, Forum Group Manager, Family Business Australia and NZ. Olivia has had a varied and eclectic professional life. Thank you for stepping in for Greg Griffiths at short notice.
