All Bendigo Community Health Services sites will be closed on Monday (August 17).

Our CEO Gerard has made the decision to give staff a much-needed and well-earned break.

It's been a long six months for our staff as we continue to deliver 'essential services' through this Coronavirus pandemic.

And with no end in sight in this Coronavirus battle for the moment at least, it's important to thank our staff for that hard work and give them an extended break to have some time out for themselves and families.

We are so proud of all our staff for the effort they have put in during these unprecedented times - many working in roles like never before but meeting that challenge day in, day out.

So this 'long' weekend is for them.

Tuesday they will return and be #thereforyou on the frontline again.

We offer a big thanks to the Bendigo community for your support and kindness during this time too. What a great community we have!
