Melba Support Services is endorsing the current proposal to introduce a single regulator, the Social Services Regulator (SSR), to oversee Victoria’s social services network. This endorsement, however, comes with a caveat. That people with a disability lead the way in this change, and that disability is fully recognised and evenly weighted against other sectors within the social services space.
Melba’s newly established Arthur Creative Lilydale arts program has received a significant boost, thanks to a $10,000 grant from Yarra Ranges Council. The money will fund a 20-week program beginning late January.
Melba’s Aboriginal Connections, Liaison & Awareness Officer, Tim White, who is a proud Wiradjuri man, shares his perspective on news Victoria has passed Australia’s first Treaty law, creating a permanent Indigenous voice in parliament. “Treaty is a major step toward self-determination and a powerful affirmation after the disappointment of the Voice To Parliament referendum,” he says.
