The Victorian Resident Advisory Committee (VRAC) has worked together over several months to create their first handbook. The handbook provides helpful information for potential and new resident members. It includes information about the role and purpose of VRAC, how to become a member and how VRAC contributes to residents’ voice on Housing Choices programs and service delivery. Current VRAC members receive a copy, and if you are interested in joining, you will also. If you would like to know more, reach out to the Community Development and Engagement Team via email communitydevelopmentvic@ hcau.org.au Victorian Resident Advisory Committee Handbook

Pet Social

We’re excited to reveal a NEW Home Stories feature – Pet Social. It’s a space for residents to share their favourite pet photo and story. Pets improve and maintain our mental health and wellbeing in so many ways, and for many of us are our closest or only companions. We want to celebrate the mischievousness, joy and laughter your pet brings you. Send us a photo of your pet with a few words about your them and how they make a difference to your life. This can be a pet photo at home, on their travels, doing their favourite thing, or even dressed up in a costume! Photos will be collected and shared with Resident Advisory Committee members who will choose their favourite Pet Social. The Pet Social favourite will receive a $100 pet gift card and feature in the next edition of Home Stories . Submit photos by texting Community Development and Engagement Officer Alex on 0427 308 006 or emailing communitydevelopmentvic@hcau.org.au. The Community Development Team is kicking-off Pet Social by sharing photos of their furry friends above.
