Monday evening the 20th of May, our Speaker, Tim Currell, Operations Manager – Seasonal Workers Australia, spoke about how Pacific Island Fruit Pickers were placed into accredited companies. This is a Federal Government Initiative developed to help our near neighbours access work. These men were from Vanuatu. This program is offered to 8 similar small Nations such as Timor Leste and Fiji. The companies who employed them needed to prove that they could not recruit from the Australian Community first.

Our speaker on Monday night the 13th of May, Cory Robertson spoke about his wife Joanne's struggles with depression and the fundraiser that they are doing to try to help raise the awareness around depression and suicide prevention as well as to remove some of the stigma around both. It was a very moving speech which bought many Rotarians to tears.

Rtn. Dr. Hakim Gassiep from Melbourne coincidentally meets Rtn. Suren Naiker from Devonport at a medical conference in Melbourne and exchange ideas to inspire each other to connect with more Rotarians in order to transform the lives of others for the better.
