Workers rally for equality

DESPITE Wednesday’s cold and wintry conditions, a large group of vocal allied health workers rallied near the Warrnambool Base Hospital voicing their concerns over pay and workforce conditions.

The rally was led by social worker (clinical lead) Kerri-Lee Jones who urged the state government to reach a “fair and reasonable offer.”

“Many workers took a huge reduction in pay during COVID and still receive below that of our counterparts in other states; it’s just not good enough nor is it fair.”

Allied health workers gathered near Warrnambool Base Hospital on Wednesday afternoon determined to get their message across.

Social worker Louise Rothman (left) and occupational therapist Rachael Couch were happy to stand in the rain to help spread their message.

Final mass for Fr John

AFTER almost five decades serving the Catholic Church, Father John Fitzgerald will say his final mass as Parish Priest of ‘Star of the Sea Parish’ later this month.

Fr John grew up in Killarney and Koroit and spent much of his youth working on the family farm alongside his siblings.

He attended St Brigid’s Crossley and St Patrick’s Koroit before attending St Patrick’s College in Ballarat.

Fr John entered Corpus Christi College Seminary at Werribee in 1970 and when that closed, he completed his studies at the new seminary in Clayton.

He completed his theological studies in 1978 and later that year was ordained in Koroit – and has faithfully served the Catholic Church for nearly 48 years.

After Ordination, Fr John’s first appointment was to the Parish of Horsham.

He then spent three and half years at the Cathedral College, which included serving as Chaplin at St Patrick’s College.

He spent a year in Terang, after which the Bishop invited him to undertake further studies prior to taking up the appointment of Director of Religious Education for the Ballarat Diocese from 1988 to 1993.

In 1994, Fr John was appointed Parish Priest of Daylesford, with the Parish of Creswick later included in his ministry.

In January 2004 he was appointed Parish Priest of St Joseph’s, Warrnambool, and in October 2021, he became moderator of the Star of the Sea Parish.

Twenty years later Fr John was elected as a Director of the Diocese of Ballarat Catholic Education Limited (DOBCEL), where he continues to support and nurture Catholic Education for students across the Diocese’s schools.

According to parishioners, he has demonstrated a truly selfless lifelong commitment to God and the church, extending into the everyday lives of parishioners.

His compassion, generosity and dedication to the parish will now doubt be greatly missed.

Fr John will say his final Mass as Parish Priest of Star of the Sea Parish on Sunday, July 26 at 10.30am.

Each church will host its own special celebration, including St Anne’s Purnim this Sunday (June 14), St Patrick’s Port Fairy (June 28), Infant Jesus Koroit (July 5), St Pius X Warrnambool West (July 12), Our Lady Help of Christians Warrnambool East (July 18), St Joseph’s Warrnambool (July 19 and 26).

Letter to the Editor

Fifty Years On, Accountability Matters More Than Ever

To the Editor,

This year, the Australian Press Council marks 50 years since its establishment in 1976; a milestone built on a simple proposition - a free press carries responsibilities as well as freedoms.

Publisher members of the Australian Press Council are proud to be answerable to that proposition and the standards that sit behind it. That proposition has endured through extraordinary change.

Technology, platforms and business models have changed dramatically since 1976.

Accountability has not kept pace with this evolution.

When the council was founded, Australians received most of their news through newspapers and broadcast media.

Today, information also reaches us through websites, social media feeds, podcasts, search engines and, increasingly through AI powered search and generative tools.

Information has become more abundant, more immediate, more accessible – and more personalised than at any time in human history.

Yet amid that abundance, many Australians are grappling with fundamental questions around what information and what standards of reporting we can rely on; and what recourse do we have where those standards are not met?

The challenge today is not access to information.

It is understanding who produced it, why it was produced, and whether anyone can be held accountable for it.

These are not new questions. They are questions that have long sat at the heart of journalism.

Professional journalism is distinguished not by a claim to perfection, but by a commitment to

standards and accountability.

Facts are expected to be verified, in opinion pieces as well as news reportage.

Significant errors are expected to be corrected.

Editorial decisions can be scrutinised.

Conduct can be independently assessed against publicly available principles.

Complainants can be heard. The public often sees only the finished article.

Less visible are the editorial judgments, ethical considerations and professional obligations that sit behind it.

Those processes matter. They encourage fairness and accuracy and provide avenues for redress when standards are not met.

For the individual, the person named in a story, those depicted, or simply the reader trying to work out what is true - these processes represent something concrete and free: the knowledge that a publisher can be held to account, that a complaint will be independently assessed and a response made.

That is not a small thing in an information environment where much of what shapes what we see and believe operates with no such obligation.

The role of the Press Council is not to determine what publishers should think or write.

Nor is it to shield journalism from criticism.

Rather, it provides a framework in which freedom of expression is accompanied by accountability, fairness, transparency and opportunities for redress when standards are not met.

Not everyone will agree with the adjudications of the council.

There will be – and are - cases where reasonable people disagree on how the council has applied standards to contentious publications.

In a democracy with press freedom this is to be welcomed.

As new issues have emerged - from privacy and digital publishing to reporting on race, religion, gender and family and domestic violence – the council’s standards and guidance have continued to adapt, helping publishers navigate complex public-interest issues while supporting responsible and ethical journalism.

As artificial intelligence becomes increasingly embedded in how information is created, discovered and consumed, these principles become more important than ever.

The question is not whether AI will be used. It already is.

Journalists, lawyers, doctors, consultants, company directors and millions of Australians use it every day.

The more important question is whether clear human responsibility and accountability remain for what is ultimately published.

Public criticism has never been easier - anyone can challenge a story, dispute a claim or call out a publisher within seconds.

That is a genuine democratic gain. However, public criticism is not the same thing as accountability.

Processes that require concerns independently to be heard, responses be given and decisions be explained are important to a thriving democracy, and are rare across platforms.

While the council’s role is focused on participating publishers, the principles that underpin its work have broader relevance.

This is particularly true given the current imbalance in how traditional media is regulated in Australia compared to the global platforms that now dominate the information environment.

In a world where more people than ever can reach large audiences, values such as accuracy, fairness, transparency and accountability are increasingly relevant to anyone who seeks to inform, influence or shape public debate.

Fifty years after the council was established, its purpose remains much the same as it was in 1976, and its importance has never been greater.

To support a free press. To uphold standards. To provide accountability.

And to help ensure that, in a world of everexpanding information, there remain institutions, processes and people prepared to answer for what they publish.

The technologies will continue to change. The council’s commitment to accountability will not.

Dr Bronte Adams, AM

Popular Parish Priest Fr John Fitzgerald will say his final Mass at Star of the Sea Parish on July 26.

Workers seek better pay and conditions

ALLIED health professionals rallied outside the Warrnambool Base Hospital on Wednesday, voicing their concerns over pay and workforce conditions.

The workers’ dispute with the state government continues to escalate across regional Victoria as workers demand a pay rise that reflects a Fair Work Commission finding of historical, gender-based undervaluation of their work.

This week’s rally in Warrnambool followed a 24-hour statewide strike of thousands of allied health workers on June 16 and is part of continuing escalation after the government’s latest wage offer significantly undercut the value of allied health work.

The offer, which landed most professionals a rise of between 19 and 21 per cent, came despite the FWC handing down a decision on allied health this year that closely mirrored the ruling used to deliver a landmark gender equity outcome for Victorian nurses in 2024.

VAHPA (Victorian Allied Health Professionals Association) represents physiotherapists, occupational therapists, speech pathologists, podiatrists, social workers, sonographers, radiographers and a wide range of other allied health professionals working across the state’s public health services.

VAHPA executive officer Andrew Hewat said the action reflected how far the dispute now reaches beyond the regional centres already affected.

“South West Healthcare is the major public health provider for the whole south west, and the allied health professionals working there hold that region together,” Mr Hewat said.

“When the government refuses to properly value this workforce, it is patients and communities right across the south west who are left to deal with the consequences.

“We have already seen workers in Geelong, Shepparton and Bendigo take a stand. Warrnambool is the latest, and the message from every region is the same.

“The state government has had every opportunity to respond to a clear Fair Work Commission finding on gender undervaluation and has instead offered wages that fell short of what these workers have earned. They have been left with no choice but to keep acting.”

Sexual assault councillors Tara Thomas and Liz Clarke braved the wet weather to have their messages heard

Improved lighting on council radar

RESIDENTS

are being encouraged to throw their support behind a push for improved lighting at Davidson Oval in West Warrnambool.

Warrnambool City Council is continuing to advocate for better lighting at the venue and has released a short survey it hopes residents will complete.

Council will apply for funding through the state government’s Local Sports Infrastructure Fund (Community Sports Lighting stream).

Plans have been developed for modern, energy-efficient LED lights to improve the quality, safety and usability of the oval, while ensuring compliance with Australian Standards and minimising spill light to surrounding properties.

“Over the past decade we’ve seen lighting improvements at Friendly Societies Park, Merrivale, Reid Oval, Brierly and most recently at Warrnambool Lawn Tennis, so we know how much of an impact they can have,”

Warrnambool mayor Cr Ben Blain said.

“Our latest priority project is Davidson Oval, where the current lighting levels

don’t meet current standards for competition, or even training.

“As part of our Active Warrnambool and Healthy Warrnambool plans, we want to develop more infrastructure that allows more people to participate in sport, and being able to train safely while creating the possibility for night games is an important part of that.”

Cr Blain said that while better lighting at Davidson Oval would provide a boost for tenant clubs Old Collegians Football Netball Club and West Warrnambool Cricket Club, it also had the potential to facilitate wider community use.

Council partnered with South West Sport to turn the lights on at Brierly Recreation Reserve across three mornings and three evenings in winter to create a space for people to engage in casual exercise such as walking, running and group fitness.

“We have seen through the Light the Night project at Brierly how lighting up a sports ground can help create a safe space for casual exercise and recreation, especially for women and girls,” Cr Blain said.

“Despite some very cold and wet

weather, we had about 85 people involved in exercise through the pilot program.

“We now want to understand whether better lighting at Davidson Oval could provide similar opportunities for the West Warrnambool community.

Residents wishing to complete the survey can head to www. yoursaywarrnambool.com.au.

Hard copies are available at the Civic Centre, 25 Liebig Street. The survey will close on Sunday, July 26.

“State government funding is incredibly competitive, so we need the community to join us and help demonstrate the need for this upgrade.”

Farmers encouraged to access Drought Support Package

ELIGIBLE farmers across the south west are being encouraged to access support while they recover from drought and plan for the seasons ahead.

Agriculture Victoria executive director Dougal Purcell said recovery was not the same for every farm, with each business facing its own circumstances and timeline.

He said many farmers were also continuing to manage seasonal uncertainty and financial pressures.

“We are supporting farmers to stabilise, rebuild and make practical decisions that strengthen their businesses over time,” Mr Purcell said.

“The Drought Support Package continues to provide financial, technical and wellbeing support to farmers as

we move into recovery from this drought.

“We encourage farmers who haven’t yet taken up support to explore what is available to assist their business into the future.”

Eligible farmers can access Farm Drought Support Grants of up to $5000 to help with drought recovery and preparedness activities.

To date, more than 6600 farmers have used these grants to invest in on-farm infrastructure upgrades including pipes, tanks, troughs and dams, stock containment areas, grain and fodder storage and pasture re-establishment.

More than 1500 farmers have also utilised a free oneon-one session through the Farm Advisory Service, meeting with consultants to support their business

decision making.

“This is an opportunity to invest now in upgrades and improvements to your farm business and to set you up for the best possible response to future environmental changes and challenges,” Mr Purcell said.

The key supports will be available until September 30 or until funds run out, whichever comes first.

Wellbeing counsellors are working alongside the Rural Financial Counselling Service and will continue supporting farmers and their families across Victoria until December 2027.

To view the full range of financial, technical and wellbeing support available to drought impacted farmers visit agriculture.vic.gov.au/drought or phone 136 186.

Detectives investigate attempted kidnapping

DETECTIVES are calling on the public to help identify a woman allegedly responsible for an attempted kidnapping in Warrnambool earlier this month.

Warrnambool Crime Investigation Unit (CIU) detectives are working to identify a woman as part of their investigations.

Investigators were told the victim, a 33 year-old woman, was walking home from work on Willow Tree Lane at about 4.30pm on Tuesday, July 7 when she was confronted by a woman.

The victim first noticed the woman standing next to a white coloured 2016 Hyundai i130 shortly before the confrontation.

As the victim walked past the vehicle she was attacked from behind and pushed half-way into the car.

She was able to fight the woman off and make her way out of the vehicle before falling to the ground and kicking out at the offender.

The offender took the victim’s phone and fled the scene, driving south on Willow Tree Lane.

Investigators have released a stock image of the vehicle and a computergenerated image of the woman of interest in the hope it will help the investigation.

The woman has been described as being of Caucasian appearance and is thought to be aged between 20 and 30 years old with curly blonde hair.

She was wearing a black coloured hoodie pulled over her head and bright pink hiking pants.

Detectives are appealing for dashcam vision from motorists who may have been in the street or the surrounding area at the

time.

Investigators have established the vehicle was a hire-car and was driven along Koroit, Hyland and Griffen streets, and Raglan Parade, in the hour following the incident.

Motorists are urged to check their vision and contact police.

“We have done a lot of work and progressed our investigation however we’re now at a stage where we need assistance from the public,” Detective Acting Sergeant Joe Fisher said.

“This was a targeted incident in which we believe the woman involved was tasked by a man linked to the victim.

Moyne Shire Council Community Update

“As the investigation is ongoing, I’m not able to go into too much detail about the man other than to say we believe we know who he is and he appears to be off-shore.”

He added the aim now was to identify the woman involved.

“The victim was very brave and thank goodness she was able to get away; luckily she wasn’t seriously injured,” he said.

Anyone who witnessed the incident, has CCTV or dashcam, or has information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit an online, confidential report at www.crimestoppersvic.com.au

City chosen as Film Festival host

WARRNAMBOOL audiences

will be among the first to experience one of Sam Neill’s final performances in a feature film, with the city selected as a regional host for the Melbourne International Film Festival (MIFF) in August.

The Capitol Cinema will screen 10 films across two weekends - August 14-16 and August 21-23.

Neill voices ‘The Magpie’ in black comedy The Fox, which also stars Jai Courtney and Olivia Colman.

Another Aussie feature is the international award-winning Yesterday Island, in which an unsuccessful writer, stuck living the same day on repeat on a sub-Antarctic island, must find another unwitting victim to take his place.

International highlights include Wicker, starring Olivia Colman, Peter Dinklage and Alexander Skarsgård, Dead Man’s Wire, featuring Al Pacino and Bill Skarsgård, and the Kiwi body-horror comedy Mum, I’m Alien Pregnant.

Documentaries examine sport, relationships and music, including Hard as Puck, Footy Shorts, Digby & Camille, Tina Arena: Unravel Me and Jebediah: Are We OK?

“Melbourne may be in the title, but the Melbourne International Film Festival is a festival that goes far beyond our city limits, presenting eclectic and exciting program highlights to nine cinema locations around our state via MIFF Regional,” MIFF artistic director Al Cossar said.

Warrnambool mayor Cr Ben Blain said MIFF was an exciting addition to Warrnambool’s winter events calendar.

“We are very proud to have been chosen to host regional screenings for the Melbourne International Film Festival,” he said.

“This is a chance to see acclaimed Australian and international films on the big screen without having to travel to Melbourne.

“Warrnambool was recently named among Australia’s top 10 most entertaining places

to live or visit, and hosting the Melbourne International Film Festival further reinforces this, while also strengthening the schedule of winter events in the city.

“The Capitol Cinema has been an enthusiastic partner in bringing the festival to Warrnambool, so thank you to the team for getting behind it.

“I’d encourage everyone to check out

the program and make the most of having such an exciting film festival here in Warrnambool.”

Tickets for all Warrnambool screenings are available from the Capitol Cinema box office or at whatson.warrnambool.vic.gov. au

‘Digby & Camille’ is one of 10 films that will screen in Warrnambool next month.

‘Tina Arena Unravel Me’ can be seen in Warrnambool next month.

‘Dead Man’s Wire’ is sure to entertain audiences.

Get it right the first time Tax Time 2026

THE Australian Taxation Office (ATO) is reminding taxpayers to slow down at the start of tax time, warning that rushing to lodge can lead to delays and amendments.

Taxpayers who lodge as soon as the financial year ticks over risk submitting incomplete and inaccurate returns, which can trigger processing delays and follow up contact from the ATO.

ATO assistant commissioner Anita Challen said taxpayers can save time and effort by waiting until all their pre-fill is available.

“While the ATO welcomes taxpayers’ enthusiasm at the start of tax time, the numbers don’t lie. Lodging too early can create more work for taxpayers,” Ms Challen said.

“Many taxpayers assume getting in first means getting a faster refund, but that is not always the case.

“Early lodgement increases the likelihood of missing information and mistakes being made, which can delay processing and require amendments.”

Ms Challen said while doing a tax return isn’t at the top of most people’s to-do lists, many still rush to get it done.

“It’s worth taking the time to get it right

the first time,” she said.

For the quickest and most seamless lodgement experience, Ms Challen encouraged people to wait until late July.

By late July, most pre-fill information is available in returns, including wages, bank interest, government payments and private health insurance details.

“The ATO collects and pre-fills a wide range of information to make tax time easier,” she said.

“Taxpayers simply need to check the information, add in any missing information, including cash income, and eligible deductions.”

The ATO encourages taxpayers to use the time before pre-fill is available to download the ATO app to track their employment income, store expense records, and receive account notifications.

Taxpayers are also encouraged to check their personal information and bank details are up to date and to check the ATO occupation guides to see what deductions they may be eligible to claim.

During the 2024–25 financial year, taxpayers who lodged before pre-fill were more than twice as likely to have their returns amended.

Also during that financial year, the ATO

corrected more than 140,000 individual tax returns where discrepancies appeared in employment income, interest, dividends, welfare payments, Medicare levy exemptions and private health insurance.

The ATO’s data matching program also

adjusted more than 595,000 individual tax returns due to missing income, overstated deductions and tax credits, and other discrepancies. The tax office recommends people seek the help and guidance of a professional service where possible.

Centre celebrates a decade

WARRNAMBOOL’S Icon Cancer Centre last week celebrated its 10th birthday.

Since first opening its doors to patients in 2016, the centre has treated almost 3,400 patients, delivering 23,500 episodes of care through its day oncology unit.

While the centre’s structure and fit-out is impressive in itself, even more so is the number of patients the care team has treated, with professionalism and dignity, over the past decade.

The centre has recorded more than 52,872 patient attendances; saving patients an estimated 4.88 million kilometres of travel for radiotherapy treatment – the equivalent of travelling around the Earth 122 times.

This has reduced travel time by around 8,050 hours (or 335 days), delivering an estimated $3.53 million in vehicle travel cost savings for patients and their families.

The 10-year anniversary was not only a celebration of the centre itself, but of the patients, clinicians, nurses, volunteers, supporters and community members whose collective commitment has transformed cancer care for generations to come.

Vicki Jellie, founder of the Peter’s Project Foundation, said she was extremely proud of the support and contributions the foundation was able to make to the centre.

“The Peter’s Project Foundation has not only financially supported the regional cancer centre in that time, but many other health services and cancer related needs throughout south west Victoria, benefiting so many in the region,” she said.

“There have been annual trust distributions given across the region, during those 10 years, from the Peters Project Foundation, equating to $2.3 million which is a great acknowledgement of our community’s generosity and the ongoing gift that keeps giving.”

Prior to the establishment of the South West Regional Cancer Centre, patients were required to travel to Geelong, Ballarat or Melbourne to access radiotherapy.

Today, patients can receive treatment, diagnostics, supportive care and aftercare much closer to home, reducing the physical, emotional and financial burden of a cancer diagnosis.

The establishment of the South West Regional Cancer Centre has created a single location where patients can access treatment and supportive care.

The past decade has also seen significant expansion of services to meet the changing needs of the region, including a dedicated Symptom and Urgent Review Clinic within the Day Oncology Unit, operating Monday to Friday and supported by a Cancer Support Nurse.

This service provides timely assessment and intervention for patients experiencing treatment-related complications, improving access to care and reducing the need for emergency presentations.

In 2020, South West Healthcare introduced a dedicated prostate cancer specialist nurse, creating a coordinated, evidence-based and patient-centred model of care for men affected by prostate cancer.

This role has enhanced care coordination, education and support while ensuring men across south-west Victoria can access specialist care closer to home.

Most recently a grant has supported the appointment of Aboriginal Cancer Care support officers to assist patients throughout the region in Warrnambool, Hamilton and Portland – including at the Cancer Centre – to improve the way in which our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community have access to cancer screening, as well as culturally-safe treatment and care, and end of life/ journey to dreaming care.

Icon Cancer Centre has delivered radiotherapy services, enabling patients to access high quality treatment locally that was once only available in larger metropolitan centres.

of hope, healing and care

Also located in the Icon centre, South West Oncology (SWO) has provided specialist medical oncology services, ensuring patients have access to expert cancer physicians and multidisciplinary care throughout every stage of treatment.

And more recently, McGrath Cancer Care has provided dedicated breast care nursing services, offering expert clinical support, education and compassionate care to patients and their families from diagnosis through to survivorship, which has now expanded into all cancer streams with two dedicated nurses.

Peter’s Project has continued to champion local cancer care, ensuring the community’s original vision remains at the heart of the service while advocating for continued investment in cancer treatment across the region.

Epworth runs the haematology service to provide local care to patients with blood cancers and blood disorders.

Together SWRCC partners have created a collaborative model of care that has significantly improved access to specialist cancer services while allowing patients to remain close to the support of family, friends and their local community throughout treatment.

As the South West Regional Cancer Centre enters its second decade, the partners remain committed to continuing to expand access to high-quality cancer care, embracing innovation and ensuring people across southwest Victoria and neighbouring South Australia can continue to receive exceptional treatment close to home.

Speaking at the 10th anniversary celebrations last week, South West Healthcare chief executive officer Craig Fraser commended all those involved with the centre over the past decade, including staff and volunteers.

“It’s incredible to think that the centre has been in operation for 10 years now,” he said.

“Establishing a complex and multidisciplinary site can take time to embed, but it feels as though recent years have seen the centre move ahead in leaps and bounds, as the partners come together to offer integrated and complimentary support to our community.

“I hope that in the next 10 years we see these services grow and reach out further into the region so that more people from all over the south-west can have access to worldclass cancer care, as close as possible to the comforts and supports of their home and families.”

Icon Cancer Centre Warrnambool site manager Anton Sanseviero said over the past decade the centre has had the privilege of caring for thousands of local patients and their families during some of the most challenging moments of their lives.

“The Icon team is proud to be part of a centre that has made such a significant difference to cancer patients in the south-west Victorian community,” Mr Sanseviero said.

“We’re excited about what’s ahead as Icon continues to invest in the latest radiotherapy technology, ensuring people have access to world-class care, no matter where they live.”

Epworth executive general manager Scott Norman said that while the past decade had been an extraordinary journey, he was equally excited about the future.

“We will continue to invest in our services, our people and our partnerships, with a relentless focus on clinical excellence, innovation and delivering outstanding care for our community,” he said.

Over the past decade, the South West Healthcare team has:

• Supported 1710 patients through the Cancer Support Nurse Service, with 80 per cent within Warrnambool, Moyne and Corangamite shires;

• Provided over 8,000 support occasions through the McGrath Breast Care Nurse;

• Prepared 16,640 lunches for patients receiving treatment;

• Discussed 1,650 solid tumour cases through the Warrnambool multidisciplinary meeting.

New alliance as foster care demand grows

A POWERFUL new alliance of foster carers, Community Service Organisations, Aboriginal Community Controlled Organisations and the Foster Care Association of Victoria (FCAV) was launched last week.

The new alliance believes that without urgent action, more vulnerable children will miss out on the safety, stability and belonging that only family-based care can provide.

The Foster Care Alliance has been established in response to mounting pressure across Victoria’s foster care system.

Foster carer numbers continue to decline while demand for home-based care remains high.

At the same time, children entering care are presenting with increasingly complex needs, placing unprecedented pressure on carers who are navigating inconsistent support and growing financial strain.

Without stronger investment and meaningful reform, the sector fears more children will face prolonged instability or

be placed in residential care because there are simply not enough foster families available.

With more than 40 foster carers actively involved, the alliance is cochaired by a foster carer and an agency representative, ensuring lived experience sits alongside sector expertise to drive practical reforms that improve outcomes for children.

The alliance has also launched a new website which can be found at www. fostercarealliance.com.au

This provides a central platform to share its priorities, advocate for reform and amplify the voices of foster carers across Victoria.

Alliance co-chair and foster carer

Alison McCarroll said the alliance was created to ensure the experiences of foster carers help inform solutions that better support children in care.

“Every day, foster carers help children and young people navigate some of life’s most difficult experiences,” Ms McCarroll said.

“Through this journey, we gain unique insight into what works, what doesn’t and what children need to feel safe, supported and connected.

“When carers are part of the conversation, policies and services are stronger.”

Ms McCarroll believes this alliance creates a platform for carers, agencies and Aboriginal organisations to work together, influence change and champion better outcomes for children and young people in care.

The alliance is advocating for reforms that will help stabilise and grow Victoria’s foster care workforce while ensuring children receive the care and support they need to thrive.

The Foster Care Alliance will focus on three interconnected priorities.

The first is providing stronger support for carers advocating for accessible training, respite, practical assistance and wraparound support throughout the caring journey.

They will also focus on respect and recognition, promoting greater inclusion of foster carers as valued partners in the child protection system and ensuring their experience informs policy and practice.

The alliance will also advocate for fair funding for care arrangements that reflect the real costs of caring, and support quality care for children with

increasingly complex needs.

The alliance also recognises the critical role foster care plays in supporting Aboriginal children while family and kinship connections are identified and strengthened.

“Building a strong foster care system supports cultural safety planning, maintains connection to family, community and Country, and helps reduce reliance on residential care,” Ms McCarroll said.

Foster carer and alliance co-chair Debora Schultz said stronger support for carers ultimately leads to better outcomes for children.

“Each foster carer who stays in the system gives more children the chance to grow up in the stability of family care,” she said.

“Without enough carers, more children face disruption and are at greater risk of entering residential care.

“As carers, we see firsthand where children and families encounter barriers and where systems can do better. By bringing together foster carers, agencies, Aboriginal organisations and the FCAV, we create a stronger collective voice to drive practical solutions and keep children at the heart of every decision.”

Festive July celebrations

THERE was plenty of festive spirit around the tables when the Twin Rivers Probus Club recently celebrated Christmas in July. Laughter and conversation flowed as members enjoyed traditional Christmas fare. Club members now look forward to several upcoming events including coffee mornings, guest speakers and luncheons. The club will celebrate its 50th year with a special BYO picnic at Lake Pertobe in October.

There was plenty of laughter and conversation around the tables.

Joan Austin wore traditional Christmas colours for the day.

Dot Woolfe and Annie Boyd had a great day out.

Gayle Rouse got into the festive spirit with some Christmas-themed glasses.

A lifetime of volunteering

AFTER decades spent firmly entrenched in community groups, sporting clubs and service organisations, Jack and Glenys

Sharrock are now enjoying a peaceful retirement at Warrnambool’s Gillin Park.

Having raised five boys during their 60-plus years of marriage, the Sharrock’s say their lives have been busy but very rewarding.

“When I put pen to paper and write down all that we have been involved with over the years, I guess we’ve been quite busy,” Jack said.

“But it was all wonderful. We’ve always believed that when you grow up and live in small towns, and raise a family, you should give back to your local community.

“Volunteering is very rewarding and it’s something we’re big believers in. It’s important to contribute whenever and wherever you can.”

And contribute is exactly what both Jack and Glenys have done for many years.

Jack joined the Bessiebelle Hall committee in 1956, at the age of 18, and remained an active member right up until 2024.

The last 16 years of his time with the hall committee was spent as treasurer.

The Bessiebelle Fire Brigade also offered Jack the opportunity to meet new friends and volunteer his time – and after 55 years with the CFA he was presented with a service medal in recognition of his ongoing commitment and service.

For 43 years he was a member of the Macarthur and District Lions Club (where he received a James D. Richardson Award and an AJ Holding Award) and was also thrilled to be the recipient of a life membership with Bessiebelle Football Club.

“Just like service clubs, sporting clubs are also the heart of many communities and we loved our time at the footy club,” he recalled.

An enthusiastic tennis player in his earlier days, Jack was also on the Bessiebelle Tennis Club committee and the local recreation reserve committee.

“And just for something different, I also spent 25 years as a volunteer driver for Macarthur Community Health and South West Healthcare,” he added.

“That was also rewarding and I met lots of lovely people over the years.”

Having a family of their own, Jack and Glenys were always keen to support The Royal Children’s Hospital Good Friday Appeal.

Over the years they have taken part in container collections for the appeal and to this day continue to help and donate whenever they can.

Just like her husband, Glenys’ community involvement is just as comprehensive and impressive. She was an active member of the Bessiebelle Primary School mother’s club where she held the positions of both president and treasurer.

She was also treasurer of the football ladies’ committee and helped run the canteen.

“I had some wonderful times in the footy club canteen and met many lovely ladies,” she recalled.

“The Bessiebelle Football Club also made me a life member which was very special.”

Glenys also found time to be an active member of

both the Bessiebelle Fire Brigade auxiliary and the hall committee.

“I was also a member of the Macarthur Lions Club, was treasurer and secretary of the Bessiebelle CWA, president of the Infant Welfare Group and secretary for a year with the local tennis club.

“I guess when I look back at it all now we were quite heavily involved in the community; our weeks and weekends were certainly very full but they were very happy, busy times – combined with raising our five boys life was pretty busy I guess.”

Glenys and Jack Sharrock relax in their Gillin Park home.

Cars and bargains galore

VISITORS to last weekend’s ‘Rust ‘n’ Relics’ event at the Warrnambool Showgrounds were treated to a great display of all things shiny and tidy.

The car and motorcycle event attracted visitors from far and wide, all eager to browse an array of vehicles on display – and chat with owners about their wellloved and cared for possessions.

A range of food and general craft stalls also proved popular, as did the chance to grab some bargains at the Rotary Club of Warrnambool’s car boot sale.

Anyone interested in joining the Rotary club (which was chartered in 1929) is welcome to email warrnamboolrotary@gmail. com

Overall quality was plain and mixed in breeding ,with very few supplementary-fed cattle on offer.

The bullock offering lacked weight consisting mainly of grown steers and manufacturing types while more than half of the yarding comprised cows.

The cow offering consisted of 41% beef cows with the balance being dairy-bred cattle.

Most regular buyers were in attendance and while not all were fully active there was good support from restockers and feeders.

The yarding included 209 bullocks, 551 trade cattle, 830 cows and the balance made up of grown bulls.

Despite the decline in quality the market held firm across most categories with the majority of cattle purchased by feeder operators.

Heavy bulls generally maintained recent price levels.

Bullocks sold to a top of 520c/kg while grown steers reached 514c and crossbred steers sold to 482c/kg.

Grown heifers ranged from 460 to 500c/kg while dairy-bred manufacturing steers made up to 430c/kg.

Better quality trade cattle sold from 500 to 556c/kg with feeders paying up to 540c/kg.

Heavy beef cows sold between 395c and 434c/kg while medium weight beef cows made from 355 to 388c/kg.

Better covered dairy cows ranged from 358 to 388c and cows returning to the paddock sold to 389c/kg.

Grown beef bulls reached 448c whilst dairy-bred bulls sold to 412c and younger bulls made up to 398c/kg.

Tight finish for table tennis comp

NEXT week’s final round of the Orford and District Table Tennis season will determine several ladder positions.

Attunga caused the upset of the round this week, inflicting Warrnambool Warriors’ first defeat of the season. And on a night when only two rubbers were regulation, Warriors won more rubbers and points but lost the match.

The ladder looks to be locked in, with Koroit taking fourth spot from Tower Hill on percentage.

While the Warriors hold on to top spot, at the other end of the ladder Glengleeson has consolidated its position.

The match between Attunga and St Helens next week could be the decider on who takes out the second and third positions, depending on results and percentage.

Results from round 13:

Tower Hill received a forfeit over Broadwater.

Warrnambool Warriors lost to Attunga 5.23.420-6.22.394.

The Warriors won everything apart from the rubbers.

Nine of the 11 rubbers were extended, six to four games and the other three to five games; surprisingly 13-11 was the highest game score.

Attunga won six of the extended rubbers, while Val Wortley won her three rubbers (all extended).

Val defeated Peter Owen 11-8, 4-11, 11-8, 5-11 and 11-9.

In the last deciding rubber of the night, she defeated Neil Ford 5-11, 5-11, 11-8, 11-5 and 11-9.

The other factor to Attunga’s win was winning both doubles matches, albeit in four-game rubbers, while Kelly Wortley won the other rubber.

Best for the Warriors were Neil and Peter with two rubbers each, while Tony Leslie won the other rubber.

St Helens lost to Koroit 5.20.3556.20.341.

The old heads of Koroit were able to defeat St Helens’ youngsters, also winning a doubles tipped the scales just their way.

As the scoreline shows, St Helens won more points, if not the rubbers or the extended rubbers.

Aaron Rowbottom won his three rubbers for St Helens and then fought out a 13-11 game with Fergus Monsborough.

Koroit won three of the four extended rubbers; the closest was Ray Young’s win against Ally Rowbottom 9-11, 9-11, 11-8, 11-4 and 13-11.

Fergus and Ray both won two rubbers each for Koroit.

Orford defeated Glengleeson

8.29-3.13.

With six long rubbers (each team winning three) it wasn’t the extended rubbers that consolidated Orford’s win.

Orford’s Jaden Clapp and Steve Young each won two rubbers while Russell Hussey won all his three.

Glengleeson’s Linton Price loves long rubbers after playing in three in the space of five on the night.

He first defeated Steven Young 11-8, 6-11, 2-11, 11-6 and 11-7.

Next rubber he played with Bill Lyons, defeating Jaden and Steven 11-8, 11-8, 4-11, 0-11 and 11-8.

After a two rubber spell he lost to Jaden 12-14, 11-7, 11-4, 7-11 and 1210.

Ladder after round 13: Warrnambool Warriors 48 points, St Helens 40, Attunga 36, Koroit 28, Tower Hill 28, Orford 16, Broadwater 12 and Glengleeson 0.

The race to finals is on

WITH five rounds remaining of the Hampden League home and away season, the top five positions on the senior football ladder remain up for grabs.

North Warrnambool Eagles continue to dominate in season 2026, sitting unbeaten on top with the Terang Mortlake Bloods their nearest rivals three games behind.

Koroit, Portland and Warrnambool currently take up positions three to five

– all on equal points – with the South Warrnambool Roosters hot on their heels in sixth, just one game behind.

The race to finals is well and truly alive, and no doubt there will be great interest in this weekend’s Portland v Warrnambool match-up at Reid Ovaland next week’s Portland v Koroit clash at Hanlon Park.

In the reserves, Warrnambool currently sits on top of the league ladder and two games clear of Cobden, followed by South Warrnambool, Hamilton and

Portland (with the Saints in sixth but only percentage behind the Tigers).

The top five Open netball sides are beginning to consolidate, with South Warrnambool retaining its unblemished 2026 season to date with 13 consecutive wins.

Holding in second spot is Koroit, with the Saints three games clear of both Cobden (third) and Port Fairy (fourth) with Warrnambool rounding out the top five, a further two games behind.

The Blues will be pushing hard in coming weeks to retain its place in the finals race, with only percentage separating them from North Warrnambool in sixth.

In the run home, the Blues will face Portland, Cobden, Port Fairy, Terang Mortlake and Hamilton.

Similarly, North Warrnambool will round out its home and away season with games against Cobden, Port Fairy, Terang Mortlake, Hamilton and ladder leaders South Warrnambool.
