The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.seslhd.health.nsw.gov.au\/\">South Eastern Sydney Local Area Health District<\/a> and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mhcs.health.nsw.gov.au\/\">NSW Multicultural Health Communication Service<\/a> have also provided videos which cover COVID-safe information, Quitline, the Liver Clinic, and mental health services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Migrant Information Online videos<\/strong> can be accessed through a single convenient link on YouTube (<strong><a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/mio-2020\">bit.ly\/mio-2020<\/a><\/strong>) and the videos will be available for one year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The MID committee is comprised of representatives from Bayside Council, Georges River Council, Kogarah Community Services, Advance Diversity Services, TAFE NSW, South East Sydney Local Health District, Services Australia and St George Police Area Command.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>ADS Facebook link: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/advancediversityservices\/\">https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/advancediversityservices\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Health services, councils, community service providers, government agencies and utility providers are taking their messages for migrants online in a first for the St George region.
