We wish all of our community a safe, happy and prosperous new year
We will be taking a short break starting on Friday 20 December until Thursday 2 January 2025.
We would like to wish all of our members, supporters, partners, families, allies and the ever diversifying communities with which we engage, a safe and happy holiday period.
Over this holiday period we encourage you to maintain contact with your regular community networks, including your medical support services.
“On behalf of everyone here at Team LPV, I want to take some time to acknowledge what has been a huge year of change across 2024. After many years at Coventry House in Southbank we relocated to our new premises at 25 Elizabeth Street in the heart of the CBD. This move enables us to continue to deliver on the key advocacy, support and community connection priorities that lie at the heart of our strategic plan and to continue to deliver high quality services for our clients, members and all folks living with HIV in Victoria now, and in the years to come. As we look ahead to 2025 with renewed sense of optimism, we wish all of our community a safe, happy and prosperous new year.” Richard Keane, CEO
