Support Melbourne's healthcare workers by shouting them a coffee

Healthcare workers across the world have done more than anyone to help save lives and combat the Covid-19 pandemic. There probably aren't enough words in the world to express our collective grattitude to them...but there is a little something you can do to help.

Victoria University and Western Health Foundation have set up a fund that allows anyone to donate the price of a coffee to a healthcare worker, as a way to thank them for all that they've done for our communities. 

During October every $5 donation buys a Western Health frontline worker a coffee, so if you donate $15, that buys three workers a coffee each. Western Health has been at the forefront of tackling the pandemic, having managed vaccinations for 50 per cent of metro Melbourne, set up Victoria's first drive-through vaccination clinic and run one of Melbourne's busiest contact tracing units (among many other feats).  

No, it's not going to solve the pandemic, but it is a small way you can say thanks to exhausted doctors, nurses and other healthcare staff. Head to the website if you'd like to make a donation.

Another way you can help healthcare workers is by getting vaccinated: here's how.
