Thank you to everyone who came out to the Emergency Services AFL Match and our first ever Family Matters Expo!
The MCG’s Yarra Park Fan Zone came alive yesterday as emergency service workers and their families connected with other emergency service families, enjoyed fun kids’ activities, spoke to experts about mental fitness, and enjoyed a lunch from our amazing sponsors!
