HEALTHY CONNECTED COMMUNITIES

Did you know the effects of social isolation in the elderly can lead to:

• A reduction in reporting crimes to Victoria Police including fraud and elder abuse
• A 29% increased risk of heart disease
• A 32% increased risk of stroke
• A 50% increased risk of dementia
• An increased risk of premature death

Victoria Police in conjunction with the Rotary Club of Port Fairy are introducing an initiative to reduce social isolation in our community by organising and encouraging healthy social connections.

On Tuesday the 25th of August, we held our first event at the Senior Citizens Hall in Port Fairy. It was a great turn out where we discussed topics including indicators of social isolation, support services available and upcoming social events in the community. We then had a fantastic lunch and listened to some excellent live music, whilst engaging with the attendees and listening to their concerns. Stay tuned for further Healthy Connected Communities events in the near future.

“It’s a shocking feeling when your hard-earned money has gone.”

Mannu thought he was paying his builder. Instead, scammers stole his $20,000 deposit.

Stories like Mannu’s are a reminder that scammers can target everyday transactions when we least expect it.

Every story shared could help protect another person.

On this day, one year ago, two of our colleagues were tragically killed in the line of duty.

Today, and every day, we remember Detective Leading Senior Constable Neal Thompson and Senior Constable Vadim de Waart-Hottart and the tragedy that occurred in Porepunkah on 26 August 2025.

We thank everyone for their support and solidarity on this difficult day.

We will remember them.

A text. A phone call. A code.

That’s all it took for scammers to steal enough money from Lindy to leave her in debt.

“They rush you through it and make you panic.”

Behind every scam report is a real person and a real story.

No one’s just a number.

Think you’d spot a scam? So did thousands of Australians.

More than 270,000 people fell victim to scams across Australia last year, so we’re urging everyone to:
🛑 Stop. Take a moment before giving your money or personal information to anyone.
👀 Check. Is the person or organisation you’re dealing with legit?
🔐 Protect. Act quickly if something feels wrong.

It’s worth just checking.

Drink driver nabbed in Camperdown

Just before midnight on Thursday, Warrnambool Highway Patrol pulled over a 25-year-old man in Camperdown. Turns out, he’d had a couple too many drinks before deciding to drive himself home.

After undergoing a breath test, he blew 0.128. That was enough for police to immediately suspend his licence and take his car on the spot. Now he’s got a date with the magistrate, and it’ll set him back $1500 just to get his car back from impound.

A road safety reminder for all - don't drink and drive, organise a designated driver to get you home safely.

It takes seconds to steal a number plate. It only takes minutes to help secure one.
✅ Secure your number plates with anti-theft screws or pop rivets.
✅ Park in a garage or driveway where possible.
✅ Consider sensor lighting and CCTV at home.
✅ Park in well-lit areas when on the street.

Stolen number plates are often used to avoid identification while committing offences, which can leave vehicle owners dealing with unwanted fines and other complications.

Through our SafePL8 program, Victoria Police, SES and Neighbourhood Watch regularly attend community events to fit anti-theft screws and share practical advice on keeping your number plates secure.
