Hon CARMEL SEPULONI: As caseloads of self-isolating households reduce, Community Connectors will transition towards providing broader support to families impacted by COVID-19. With 500 Community Connectors hosted by 260 providers around the country, the Community Connection Service has been a vital link to support the needs of people self-isolating. The funding announced today will allow this mahi to continue while also enabling connectors to help people with broader COVID-related issues. This could include those with high and complex needs who may need support with employment or educational support. We'll continue to keep an eye on the ongoing impacts of COVID-19 in our communities and be ready to pivot the Community Connection Service if required for a further Omicron wave or a new variant.
