Adam Smith-CEO Foundation for Young Australians http://www.fya.org.au/
The Foundation for Young Australians (FYA) is an independent organisation committed to improving the learning outcomes and life chances of young people. To effectively deliver on this commitment, FYA undertakes research, delivers education initiatives, invests in individuals and youth-led organisations, and advocates on the issues that matter to young people.
FYA mission is to empower young Australians to be successful learners and creative, active and valued citizens.
This is achieved by supporting innovative approaches, providing rich learning opportunities and developing resources that inspire and challenge young Australians and improve their wellbeing.
Ultimately, their long-term vision is for an Australia where all young people achieve their full potential and are valued by all. We believe this vision can be realised by supporting and empowering young Australians to become successful learners and creative, active and valued citizens.

The Australian Volunteer Coast Guard is an organisation composed entirely of volunteers, formed in 1961 to promote safety in the operation of small craft. It guards the coast in the most effective way - initially by education, example, examination and finally by search and rescue. The Australian Volunteer Coast Guard has no law enforcement powers and enjoys a reputation for being helpful and courteous to all boat owners.
Australia, the world's largest island, has a coastline of 19,650 kilometers (12,210 miles). 90% of Australia's population lives within 120km of the coast and over 70% live in the coastal belt from Cairns in Queensland to Adelaide in South Australia.
Flotillas and radio bases are located from the Skardon River in the Gulf of Carpentaria, down the eastern sea board to Ceduna in South Australia, including Tasmania and major inland lakes and weirs. Expansion is continuing in areas of need.

Ray Campbell first joined the St Kilda Flotilla or VF2, in Victoria in 1983 and held the position of Flotilla Purser for one term prior to forming the VF05 Flotilla At Lake Eppalock in 1995 where he was appointed as Flotilla Commander, a position he held for five years until 1990. Ray was elected as the Squadron Commodore of Victoria in 1995 and was serving his 4th term as Squadron Commodore when elected as the National Commodore. Ray has represented Victoria at a national level both during his terms as Victorian Commodore and previously as the Deputy National Commodore.

Inspired Workforce Performers

Last week we had the pleasure of listening to a most brilliant speaker De Backman-Hoyle.  De spoke on Intergenerational Differences  the Y generation, the X generation, the Baby Boomers and why they don't always look at work ethics the same way.  She also spoke on ways in which people could improve to better understand  people in different generations.
We would like to thank De very much for her time and  presentation which was most interesting and informative

Mental Health Awareness    -    Mental Illness

It is estimated that mental health problems will affect more than 20 per cent of Australia's adult population at some stage of their lives and between 10-15 per cent of young people in any one year.

Many people recover spontaneously and the vast majority will receive treatment and will fully recover. However, a small number will experience longer periods of distress and disability.

Mental illness is a disease just like any other illness; yet the  flowers, sympathy and support usually showered on people with a physical illness are often overlooked when people are diagnosed with a mental illness.

Myths, misunderstandings, negative attitudes and stereotypes surround mental illness. They result in stigma, isolation and discrimination. Australian Rotary Health has pledged to invest in research into mental illness to facilitate better treatment and services.

Australian Rotary Health also aims to promote greater understanding of mental illness in the community through  education programs.

Since January 2000 Australian Rotary Health has directed most of its funding to Australian mental illness research programs.
