It's unbelievably halfway through 2020, and whilst the first half has been challenging and unusual, we are positive for the months ahead.

Can we just say how proud we are of you, our members.

So well done for getting through this. It really has been an honour to be here for you during this time.

Now onward to the rest of 2020!

Top Tips to Help Adjust to the New Normal
|
Take it day by day:
|
Try to focus on each day at a time. Thinking too far into the future in times of uncertainty can be overwhelming.
|
|
Tell Yourself - We can never guarantee our safety:
|
Remember that there is risk in everything we do, that is a part of life and we cannot eliminate it. Rather than focusing on trying to guarantee your safety, think about what a safer option is.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Schedule time to worry:
|
If you are consumed by worrying, schedule 30 minutes in your day to think about your worries. When they arise during different parts of the day, write them down and tell yourself you won’t think about it until your worry time.
|
|
Invest in your home space:
|
Spend time making your home organised, tidy and clean to help you feel you have a secure base during the changes.
|
|
Create new routines:
|
Set up a new daily/weekly routine that you would like to stick to in the new normal. Write down when you want to exercise, do self-care, see loved ones etc.
|
|
Combat the Fight-or-Flight Response:
|
We can also use our breathing to reduce our stress levels – focus on breathing techniques such as breathing in for 4, holding for 4, and exhaling for 6 to activate your rest and relax response in the nervous system.

SUPERANNUATION AMNESTY - TIME IS RUNNING OUT!

The Australian Taxation Office clarified it’s position last year on whether or not leave loading is to be treated as ordinary time earnings. The outcome of this was that for almost all CMSolutions members leave loading is ordinary time earnings and is therefore subject to superannuation.

Workplace Health and Safety Obligations
In the current climate of hypervigilance and hygiene, employers need to be careful not to let their standard Workplace Health and Safety Standards lapse.
Employers have an obligation to ensure the workplace is safe. This means ensuring that all persons who access your work environment are not at risk of a physical or psychological injury, or if there are risks that these are minimised and/or controlled.
