The Great Ocean Road Regional Tourism team is heading to Apollo Bay for a free 2-hour marketing workshop, tailored specifically for businesses in our region. If you work in tourism or hospitality, this one is well worth your time.

📅 Tuesday 20th October
🕙 10am to 12pm
📍 Apollo Bay Surf Life Saving Club

The team will be presenting the brand new Apollo Bay marketing toolkit, packed with practical tips and tools to help you leverage the Apollo Bay destination brand in your own promotional activity.

It's not every day this kind of tailored support comes to town, so we'd encourage every local tourism and hospitality business, event organiser, or community group to get along and make the most of it.

Best of all? It's completely free!

October is Cyber Security Action Month, and it's the perfect time to give your digital safety a quick check-up!
Criminals are constantly finding new ways to target your personal and financial details, but keeping yourself protected doesn't have to be complicated.

Here are 3 quick and easy actions you can take to protect yourself online:

1. Enable Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) 🔐
MFA adds an extra shield of security to your accounts by requiring two or more proofs of identity, such as a fingerprint, Face ID, a secure pin code or notification sent to your trusted device.

2. Build Stronger Passphrases 💬
Ditch simple passwords and switch to passphrases; a combination of random words that are easy for you to remember but extremely difficult for scammers to guess.

3. Never Click SMS or Email Links 🚫
Scammers often spoof phone numbers and emails to look like they are from trusted organisations like Bendigo Bank, complete with urgent requests to click a link. Bendigo Bank will never send you an SMS or email asking you to click a link to log in or verify your details.

Hey Apollo Bay farmers, have you seen these grants advertised?

If you're a primary producer in our region, it's well worth checking your eligibility before applications close. Agriculture Victoria has Farm Drought Support Grants available and there's up to $10,000 for farmers in south west Victoria.

Support is also available across financial, technical and wellbeing services to help you manage current conditions and plan ahead with more confidence.

Applications close 30 September 2026 or when funds are fully allocated, whichever comes first. So if you think you might be eligible, why not apply?

We know how hard our local farmers work to keep food on our tables and our region thriving. If this support can make life a little easier, we'd love to see our community take advantage of it. 💙
