Some of the ways you can help

There a many ways you can help but these are a few

Write to you MP's
This is the most important one, get in touch with your MP's.  Write a letter rather than email, then keep writing, then keep writing!  A letter is good, a letter a week is better.  If you're not sure who to write to check out these websites - Find My Electorate or Parliament of Victoria

We can also be voted for on Get Up This is taken from their website 
GetUp is an independent, grass-roots community advocacy organisation giving everyday Australians opportunities to get involved and hold politicians accountable on important issues.
Whether it is sending an email to a member of parliament, engaging with the media, attending an event or helping to get a television ad on the air, GetUp members take targeted, coordinated and strategic action.
GetUp does not back any particular party, but aims to build an accountable and progressive Australia - an Australia with economic fairness, social justice and environmental sustainability at its core.
GetUp is a not-for-profit organisation and receives no money from any political party or the government. We rely solely on funds and in-kind donations from the Australian public.



We are also on PlanBig This is taken from their website

PlanBig is itself the culmination of a big idea.
We believed that there was some real value in giving people the chance to come together in one place to talk about ideas, share inspiration, offer advice or help make things happen for themselves or someone else.
PlanBig brings together the experiences, knowledge and expertise of people with different skills from all walks of life and all ages to help each other get ideas kick started.
So who are these amazing people and where do they live? They’re you and thousands of others just like you in communities right across Australia (and even across the planet).
Get involved, get connected, get active. It doesn’t matter where you live because with PlanBig you can draw on the resources of a vast online community. A community who is passionate, engaged and eager to lend a hand or an ear.
