Glen Eira COVID-19 Community Groups Committee

Thank you for joining the Glen Eira COVID-19 Community Groups Committee, a new virtual forum that is being established to identify local issues and priorities for relief, response and recovery to COVID-19. We really appreciate you providing your time to come together to support our community.

This is an important time for Council to maintain and strengthen connections with community groups, organisations and leaders. This Committee will develop a shared understanding about the impacts of COVID-19, identify priority needs across the community and build a stronger network of support within Glen Eira.

The objectives of the Committee are:

• Share information to understand the current impacts of COVID-19 across different sectors of the community.
• Investigate ways Council and the community can be responsive to emerging needs within a COVID-19 context.
• Invite feedback to inform Council's decision-making and priorities for COVID-19 relief, response and recovery.
• Promote services that support the community, particularly the health, wellbeing and safety needs of vulnerable community members.
• Address social and community issues to build resilience and social connection, improve mental and physical health and encourage acts of community kindness and hope.
• Develop key messages and cross promotion of important information.
