World Water Day

If we take up the challenge, the positive impact will reverberate far beyond better access to clean water. Every dollar invested in water and sanitation yields an estimated seven dollars worth of productive activity. And that comes on top of the immeasurable gains in cutting poverty, improving health and raising living standards. World Water Day offers a chance to spotlight these issues, but this year let us go beyond raising awareness - let us press for action to make a measurable difference in people's lives."

Celebrate our Cultural Diversity Week

Between 15-21 March this year, Victoria will host a lively program of festivals and events highlighting our cultural, linguistic and religious diversity.

The Week also marks the United Nations Day for the Elimination of Racism on 21 March and affirms our belief in the right for all Victorians to live without fear of racial and religious discrimination.
