COVID-19 Update
13th March 2020
Like so many others, I'm increasingly concerned about the amount of misinformation getting around on social media.
Please, I really encourage everyone to rely only on information distributed by NSW Health along with its federal counterpart.
Here's the latest update, and please note the links to proper information and the hotline number 1800 022 222.

There are also some cases we are still identifying the link, reaching out to contacts and tracking to ensure we prevent further spread. ??
