R U OK?
The 14th of September marks R U OK? Day, a significant reminder to check in with your friends, colleagues and loved ones, including those with a disability. It only takes a simple question to start a conversation – ‘Are you OK?’
Join us for Kaleidoscope, a visual art exhibition showcasing the talented works of people with disability.
This year, there will be two exhibitions. For the first time we are holding a regional exhibition in Bendigo, where many of the artists live. The second exhibition is at the beautiful Hawthorn Arts Centre. We invite you to come along for and see the artwork.
To take the exhibition to the next level, we have partnered with Arts Project Australia to run workshops for Scope customers in creative mediums such as print making, pastels using egg whites and retribution / zombie teddy bears. Please view our flyers and exhibition details below:
- Opening night Monday 14 August 6pm-8pm

- Location: Scope’s Kangaroo Flat, 2/16 Lockwood Road Kangaroo Flat Centre, Bendigo. (V/line leaving from Southern Cross at 4:29 arriving at Kangaroo Flat at 6.23pm)

Yes: A guide to talking about the Voice referendum
Australians will soon be asked to vote yes or no to change the Australian Constitution in the Voice referendum. It’s an historical moment for all of us, but most importantly for our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
