Ep 01: Hurrah for HRAR

HRAR means 'High-Risk Accommodation Response'. Every public housing area has an HRAR team– but the north Richmond HRAR is distinct, in that the team is made up of individuals from Richmond public housing. In this podcast we will uncover how their strategy has helped connect the community during the pandemic, and helped to ultimately achieve one of the highest vaccination rates in Victoria.
