Service Project Latrobe On Hold Due to VIC Lockdown

Disaster Relief Australia | February 2021

service project latrobe on hold Due to the recent COVID-19 complications in Melbourne, we need to put Service Project Latrobe Legacy on hold while parts of Victoria enter a 5-day lockdown.

Our Melbourne DRT has already been working closely with the local community conducting Damage Assessments and setting up operations in preparation for the work that needs to be completed following the 2019/20 Black Summer bushfires season, and we will return as soon as possible to pick up where we left off.

Our work as part of Service Project Latrobe Legacy will recommence as the situation becomes viable. We will keep the community and our members updated as circumstances unfold.
