Calling All Mature Age Workers
You are cordially invited to have a FREE career check up at the inaugural “Career Check Up
Expo for Mature Workers”
The “Career Check Up Expo for Mature Workers” is an initiative of IRT Foundation being
delivered in partnership with the Australian Human Rights Commission and the ACT
Government – the Expo will provide workers 45+ a one-stop-shop for planning their future
and getting the right advice about working and retirement.
The Expo will put age-friendly employers, training organisations, career coaching, HR

barriers to accessing information.

The Expo will be held on Wednesday, 29 June 2016, 10:00am – 2:00pm at the

Voting is different this Federal Election
The Australian Electoral Commission would like to provide your organisation with
information about the upcoming Federal Election in 2016.
You may also be aware that the Australian Parliament recently passed changes to the way
you vote for senators and these changes will apply at the upcoming 2016 federal election.
This is the most significant change to Australia’s democratic system in some time and will
affect all Australian citizens ages 18 years and over.
The Australian Electoral Commission website has information in 27 languages about
enrolling and voting. Go to http://www.aec.gov.au/About_AEC/Translated_information to
find out more.
What are the changes to voting? On the Senate ballot paper voters will have new ways to
decide their preferences. The Senate vote can be cast above the line by numbering at least
six boxes, from one to six, for parties or groups of your choice. Or you can vote below the
line by numbering at least twelve boxes, from one to 12, for individual candidates in the
order of your choice.
Translated information regarding the recent changes to the Senate voting system can also
be found as part of a dedicated communication kit.
Concession Scheme
Support for low-income households
As part of the 2016-17 Budget, the ACT Government will increase funding for the
Concessions Program to support the most vulnerable members of our community. The extra
$35 million over four years reflects the ACT Government’s commitment to a fairer, more
sustainable and more accessible program that targets support to those Canberrans who
need a helping hand most.
Concessions play an important role in supporting around 30,000 Canberra households and
the need for support is increasing. The ACT Government offers numerous concessions,
including concessions for electricity, gas and water bills, household rates, public transport,
motor vehicle registrations, driver licences, taxis, glasses and funeral assistance. Following a
review of the Concessions Program and community consultation period, the Government
3
ACT Veterans and Seniors Newsletter – June 2016
has decided that most concessions will not be changing and has provided additional funding
to meet forecast demand.
Changes that have been announced include maintaining ‘uncapped’ General Rates Rebates
at 2015-16 levels, introducing a combined Utilities Concession from 2017-18, and gradually
increasing the eligibility age for the ACT Seniors Card to 65 by 2025.

Consider Hosting an International Student
The Education and Training Directorate international education program invites Canberra
families to open their homes to international students and provide them a safe and
nurturing place to live during their stay in Canberra.
Placing international students with a homestay host family helps bridge the cultural and
language gap, giving students the opportunity to experience the life with an Australian
family. Homestay parents and their children gain a greater understanding of cultural
diversity through the relationship that develops with their student. Many of our host
families have been providing accommodation for international students for many years.
The Directorate is currently experiencing a shortage of homestay host families throughout
Canberra and we invite you, or someone you know, to consider hosting a student.

Death Cap Mushrooms Found in Canberra
The ACT Chief Health Officer has alerted the community that Death Cap mushrooms have
recently been found in several locations in the ACT due to the recent wet weather.
In previous years, Death Cap mushrooms were typically seen in Canberra from late March.
For the last two years Death Cap mushrooms have been found as early as February, due to
lower temperatures and heavier than usual rain fall.
In Canberra, Death Cap mushrooms grow mainly near established oak trees in the wet,
warm weather typically observed in late summer and autumn. However this year, due to
recent wet weather authorities been alerted to mushroom sightings earlier than usual.
In light of these sightings, Canberrans are reminded that Death Cap mushrooms are
extremely poisonous and can easily be confused with other wild mushrooms.
People should not pick or eat any wild mushrooms. All parts of the Death Cap mushroom
are poisonous, and eating just one can be fatal. Cooking the Death Cap mushroom does not
make it safe to eat.
It can be extremely difficult for even experienced collectors to distinguish Death Cap from
an edible mushroom.
Anyone who suspects they may have eaten Death Cap mushrooms should seek urgent
medical attention at a hospital emergency department. The sooner treatment begins, the
better the patient’s chances of survival.
During the last 16 years, there have been a number of poisonings, including four fatalities
associated with Death Cap mushrooms in the ACT.
The community is reminded to remain vigilant and tell friends and family who are visiting or
new to Canberra not to pick and eat any wild mushrooms. For safety, all mushrooms should
be purchased from a reputable supplier.
More info: Important information about the Death Cap mushroom is available on the ACT

Volunteering Opportunities
Volunteering Opportunity on ACT Public School Boards
An opportunity exists to engage with a school community by becoming an appointed
member on a school board.
The ACT Education and Training Directorate is seeking people to fill appointed members
positions on ACT public school boards.
Being the appointed member of a school board is a rewarding way to serve your local school
and community. Appointments are made for periods up to two years and usually commence
in April.
What is an appointed member?
An appointed member is usually someone from outside the immediate school community,
interested in and committed to public education. The role of the appointed member is to
present an independent view to the school board.
Interested persons appointed as appointed members may enhance the knowledge and
composition of a school board through their particular skill sets (for example, appointed
members with an understanding of financial management, ICT or policy).
Training for all new school board members is provided by the Directorate during the year.
Functions of a School Board
All ACT public schools are required to have a school board, meeting at least four times per
year. School boards work in partnership with the principal and have specific responsibility
for establishing the strategic direction and priorities of the school, monitoring and reviewing
school performance, developing, maintaining and reviewing curriculum, approving budgets
and policies for the effective use of school resources and management of financial risk.
How to register your interest?
If you are interested in the role of appointed member, the expression of interest form is
available on the ACT Education and Training Directorate’s website
(www.det.act.gov.au/school_education/school_boards).
