As you will be well aware, significant rains that Victorians have experienced of late have manifested as devastating floods across parts of Melbourne and regional Victoria, including extensive flooding in the Echuca, Shepparton and Wangaratta regions. Floods have spread across towns and properties, with the loss of lives, ravaging properties, businesses, livestock and wildlife. We acknowledge and empathize with the pain, anxiety and trauma that these communities are experiencing and forward our best wishes to all effected during these difficult times. The Institute has contacted members in these regions to better understand what they are going though and to assess how we might prioritise our activities and actions to be of assistance.
