Wellbeing with a Difference

Reaching New Heights

How many coins or buttons can you stack without them falling over? NO CHEATING! Adhesives must not be used.   

5 points awarded for sharing a picture of your epic tower on your social media. Extra 5 points if you made it into a competition with someone else. 

To-Do Tuesday

Procrastinators Unite! We all have something that we put off . Today is the day that we change that. Do a task you’ve been putting off/keep forgetting about and either tell us about it or share a smiling selfie of you when you cross it off your to-do list. 

Class is in Session

Let’s go back to school. You are both the teacher and the student this time. Each person on your team must attempt to learn a new skill they have never tried before and document the experience, including the first attempt. You must also teach a coworker a new skill that you have. Get creative and learn how amazing and talented our coworkers are! 

Let's Get Cooking

We all made it through the banana bread and sour dough trends of the early days of Covid as calories didn’t count during restrictions. 

What’s something that you’ve never cooked or baked because it just seemed too daunting or difficult? Nobody is perfect the first time so don’t worry about the results. All that matters is you tried!

Green is the New Black

Winter is a great time to plant bare root stock or dormant plants. It gives us hopes of warmer days and the sweet green growing leaves. Plant a tree, flower, veggie garden at work and delight in the knowledge that you made your world a little bit better today.

Small Business Ventilation Program extended

To reduce the risk of COVID-19, the Victorian Government’s Small Business Ventilation Program is offering support to small businesses to improve ventilation in areas accessible to customers.

Eligible public-facing small businesses can now apply for funding for equipment or works to improve ventilation. Under the program, support is available via a rebate or grant.

• Ventilation Rebate: A $500 rebate for public facing small businesses to take immediate actions such as purchasing equipment or hiring a qualified tradesperson to undertake minor services to improve ventilation in areas accessible to customers.
• Ventilation Grant: Matched grants from $1,000 to $5,000 to enable public facing small businesses who employ staff to invest in larger projects to improve ventilation such as building works, engaging professional services or equipment in areas accessible to customers.
