<span style="font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Hello everyone - I've been asked to share this message about an option to support Victorian Aboriginal communities affected by the terrible bushfires this summer that have received world-wide
attention - and are still burning, despite some rain relief in the past few days.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">The Victorian Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Organisation (VACCHO) has, at the request of ACCHOs in the Gippsland region, established a central point for funds directed towards
bushfire relief for the Aboriginal community in Victoria. VACCHO is the peak body and leading advocate for the health of Aboriginal peoples in Victoria with a membership of 31 Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Organisations (ACCHOs). VACCHO also works
closely with partner organisations, Government and non-Government Community sector organisations across Victoria and nationally.</span></div>
