Today we farewell our valued team member and friend, Audrey Bartlett.
For the past 12 years, Audrey contributed to our community as a valued member of our Youth, L2P and VicRoads teams.
Through the TAC L2P Program, Audrey supported hundreds of local young people to get their driver's license.
She created events and opportunities for our young people to have fun and stay connected through our FReeZA program.
And many community members will have experienced Audrey's wonderful customer service skills at VicRoads.
Audrey will be dearly missed by us all – we thank her for her dedicated service to our organisation and her friendship.
Please note - our Customer Service Centre will be closed from 12 noon today, Friday 30 August, whilst our staff attend Audrey's funeral.
We apologise for the inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your understanding during this time.
We will re-open as normal at 9am on Monday 2 September.

ENERGY BREAKTHROUGH
Join in the excitement of Energy Breakthrough and help promote the event's 'waste wise' message by volunteering with our Waste Education team.
Helping to guide patrons sorting their waste, reducing landfill and recycling their utensils is a fantastic way to meet people and achieve positive results for the whole community. Plus there is a range of other roles to choose from to support the 5,000 students from 150 schools taking part.

Expressions of Interest are also open until 11 September for community groups to supply catering, generating much needed fundraising for their local groups and clubs and helping our premier event's success.
