DHHS Cyber Security Alert: Phishing emails targeting finance, payroll and procurement operations.

Please be aware that these emails are in circulation.  
These cyber criminals send emails that look like they are from members of your organisation, business/finance partners, affiliates or even clients.
The emails we are aware of have two general types:

Emails that provide attachments or links to invoices, purchase orders, remittance advice, etc.  Link types may vary – Dropbox/One Drive, typical weblinks and pdf attachments. 
Emails requesting changes to payroll/vendor banking details, or confirmation of financial transactions.  These may include malicious attachments, provide updated banking information for future payments, or seek confidential financial information.
 
Know the Warning Signs 
Communication about finance matters is usually quite structured in nature.  All organisations have set processes in place to handle them.  You may receive an email seeking an ‘urgent’ payment or update to payroll details, but before clicking on any links, please consider:

Who is the email from, who is it to and is anyone copied? 
Be very cautious if the from, to and cc information looks unusual, unfamiliar or incorrect e.g. typos.  You would usually be able to verify the exact nature of an email from its subject, body text, attachment file name and email signature.  Reference numbers and specific people/team names should be present.

Does it make sense that you would be receiving this request?  
If you aren’t trained to respond to the finance-related task in the email, be sure to get help from the appropriate person/team in your organisation before doing anything.  

If the email relates directly to your work, can you verify what the email relates to:
Do we have a financial relationship with this organisation?
Can we verify that this person works at that organisation?
Can the sender verify details they should know about legitimate transactions?
Has the request been made using proper processes?
Are links or attachments in the email of an unusual nature?
Can any of the information in the email be verified against your records?
 
Know what to do 
Understand cyber security limitations
Don’t open an attachment or link to verify its exact nature through your records or trusted colleagues or contacts.  Links and attachments in phishing emails usually contain the malicious content, which is activated by opening them.

Follow your processes carefully
Bank account details and financial transaction records are sensitive information.  Processes within your organisation are there to protect all parties.  Seek help if you are unsure. 

Unsure? 
If you can’t verify the legitimacy of this type of email, do not action and do not reply to the email. Alert your manager and get support from your IT department or your IT Service Provider.

Carlton Residents say
​no go between us the
governments and
​our Elected representatives.​

its become the norm that agencies to place them self in between the residents and the authorities.
This is an abuse of the well intended ariginal aim of not been able to represent themself well infront of the breacratc system. What it was never intended is to make them invisiable not aproachable by outsiders while others are making the desions for them whout their knowledge or consent.
Allot is going wrong without marnilasation become the norm instead of reducing sterio typing becomes widespread instead of stopping it.
The system which have worked for dacades is no longer relevant and appropreate almost all other types of goverment services are alligned fine tuned or commpletly changed but the community segtor need allot of attention or some of the services needed to be redirected back towards the agencies which provide assentiial services like housing employment and education

Dear Hamdi,
 
First off I’ll introduce myself, I am the volunteer co-ordinator at Bicycle Network, a not-for-profit that works to make bike riding easy for everyone. We also run big events such as the RACV Great Victorian Bike Ride which is coming up on November 28th. Volunteers are a vital part of everything we do, and we have approximately 2,500 active volunteers but we are looking for some extra hands at this year’s Great Vic and I am writing to invite the members of your shed along. The RACV Great Vic is a fun, friendly and challenging camping holiday. It’s the opportunity to spend a week in another world, where you join our canvas community while travelling through the beautiful Victorian countryside.
 
The roles we need help with include a number of different things; from campsite services which includes setting up water and generators,  to catering equipment which is a rather elaborate trailer that has be repurposed as a washing facility for over 50 people. We also have positions in:
-       logistics
-       catering
-       lunch
-       driving
All volunteers are provided with food for the whole event, a team outfit, a thank you function plus a few extra goodies. They can borrow a tent if they need, and we provide transport from all regional centres. If you could share this opportunity with the members of the shed I would greatly appreciate it. There is no need for an interest in cycling just a willing, enthusiastic nature and desire to work in a team to help make the event a success! Volunteers head up on Friday 27thNov and return on Sunday 6th Dec. There is more information on the teams at the website here. But I am also happy to chat to anyone who may be interested.
 
Appreciate your time and look forward to hearing from you soon!
 
Kind regards,
 
Claire Connell
Volunteer Coordinator

CHERS AGM 2014

The CHERS  AGM 2013-14 was the best attended ever, it was a very vibrant event which was represented almost  all the groups who live in Carlton Public housing.

The Hournble Adam Bandt  MP has attended and spoke very nicely about CHERS, Mr Bandt especiallyu mentioned that the last time he was here there was a much smaller attended, he was very impressed the turn out and the change.

He mentioned thinks his office worked with CHERS to help the residents of Carlton, like the Housing waiting list,the safety and the drug issue, and the National Broadbanbd Network (NBN) which is been rouled out currently in Carlton. Adam's office helped anomalously about the NBN for the Carlton High rises, reffer to the NBN news.

The Meeting was MC by Mr Ian Cunliffe a Senior Lawyer he is very familiar to the residents of Carlton and some other public housing residents in inner North of Melbourne.



Is NBN coming to all of Carlton, including the public?

What do you think about people using public land for street gardens?

Residents, Community and Businesses
 
The City of Melbourne is currently undertaking a consultation process around the issue of street gardens, following interest from within the municipality.
Distinct from organised community gardens, street gardens are a way for people to use public land – like nature strips, footpaths, median strips or laneways to create small gardening spaces for food, ornamental or other green infrastructure purposes.


The City of Melbourne would like to determine the level of interest in this topic, so is inviting the community to provide feedback on both the concept of street gardens and the draft Street Gardens Guidelines.
The feedback received will be used to assist Council consider its policy position in relation to street gardens.
A copy of the draft Street Gardens Guidelines can also be downloaded at www.melbourne.vic.gov.au/getinvolved. We invite you to provide your comments by completing the online survey.
Additionally, you can forward your thoughts either via email health@melbourne.vic.gov.au or in writing to City of Melbourne Health Services Branch, GPO BOX 1603, MELBOURNE VIC 3001.  The closing date for completing the online survey is Friday 9th March, 2012.
If you would like a hard copy of the draft Street Gardens Guidelines to review contact us athealth@melbourne.vic.gov.au or phone 03 9658 9658. We look forward to your involvement in this consultation.
