You can now see the number of COVID-19 cases in each local area: HERE. It is vital that we continue practicing good hygiene and distancing, and that anyone with even mild symptoms gets tested for the virus. We have seen good results so far since strict measures were introduced that has put Australia ahead of other countries. If we further contain the virus we can ease restrictions sooner with fewer risks. Call Service NSW if you have questions or need information about support, phone 13 77 88.

A number of people have contacted me about learning digital technologies and we all need to come to grips with new software and problem solving.
