The Central West Gippsland Primary Care Partnership has a strong history of supporting food security work across Baw Baw and Latrobe. In order to effectively and efficiently respond to new challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic we put a call out to our partners to identify the current service gaps, community issues, pressure points and needs they were experiencing.
Macedon Ranges Shire has an older population compared to Victoria. The physical distancing required to slow the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic has seen an increase in the reliance on digital platforms that enable people to socially connect, keep updated on government directives, as well as attend medical appointments, online shopping and interact with online hobbies and support groups. Through the local pandemic emergency response it was identified that there were a number of local programs to support older people to become digitally connected. It was agreed that this program needed to be adaptable in this new physical distancing environment.
To slow the spread of COVID-19, the Macedon Ranges community demonstrated their resilience and adapted to the new social environment of physical distancing. The Macedon Ranges Health and Wellbeing Partnership used social media to promote examples of adaptability, with the hope of inspiring other groups to maintain their social connections. Short 3-minute videos were produced to showcase these examples of adaptability and resilience. These were shared via Facebook by the Macedon Ranges Health and Wellbeing Partnership to increase the reach of the message #AdaptableAndResilient.
The Macedon Ranges Health & Wellbeing Partnership worked together to slow the spread of COVID-19 to support our health service meet the increased demand. One of these strategies was to engage local businesses in promoting healthy hygiene messages to their staff, customers and community
