#asbestos #IWMD2022 28th April 2022 ACV/GARDS and the GippslandTLC held our International Workers Memorial Day at Gippsland Heritage Park the first since before COVID – We paid our respects to the 62 Victorians who were tragically killed in work place accidents over the past year. We also remembered those who have lost their lives over the years and paid our respects to their families. Everyone has the right to come home safely from their work. Thank you to all those who joined with us today to support families grieving the loss of a loved one and showing how much you care for those who are suffering a workplace illness or disability photos of the event were taken by: Tanya Fairbairn ACV/GARDS member

Watch a recording of our Asbestos webinar that took place on 26 November 2021.
If you missed it or are interested in the issues around asbestos please take time to watch the video, it takes about an hour and tells a lot about what is happening in this area. We hope you will find it insightful and moving. We acknowledge and thank EngergyAustralia Yallourn for helping to fund this webinar – please note there is a short pause just as Jane starts her talk as the audio had to be fixed it takes about a minute before she starts
If you have any questions you can still email them to us and we will try to answer them for you.
