Victorian Aboriginal Health Service overdraft refused
The Department of Aboriginal Affairs declined to provide an overdraft for the Victorian Aboriginal Health Service which faces about 20000 in the red by month end. Four doctors and Aboriginal staff will work without pay for a time, but funds are tight due to ongoing accounts and supply purchases. An additional 8000 reimbursement for embezzlement losses is noted, while the department stresses continued funding for regular operations. VAHS has expanded services to Gippsland and Shepparton, sending doctors two days weekly, despite not being in the original program. The service argues past overruns were covered by overdraft arrangements, while authorities caution against expansion and seek sustainable funding.
