Empowering Our Community – Ethnic Council of Shepparton and District

We were proud to support educational workshops focused on improving emergency preparedness during the first 72 hours of a crisis — with a particular focus on our Hazaragi and Arabic-speaking community members. With interpreting support provided by our incredible leaders at the Ethnic Council, participants received clear and practical advice to help them better prepare, respond, and stay safe in emergencies. A heartfelt thank you to:

Vic Police
SES
Greater Shepparton City Council
Crime Stoppers
Recovery in Resilience Team

Their support ensured these important sessions were inclusive, impactful, and built on genuine community connection. The life size map of Shepparton and Mooroopna was also a big hit.
When we prepare together, we recover stronger.
