eczema misinformation, this content is reaching around 40,000 views a month.

“We had a drop in viewers last month due to our shift in social media ad spend. However, it’s worth noting that the Itchy Switch campaign has seen 17,078 video views this month alone, with nearly 9,000 viewers watching the videos in full—a great indicator of content quality” Eczema Support Australia.

“The Northern Rivers flood disaster of March 2022 devastated the Richmond Valley, with catastrophic damage to homes, businesses and public infrastructure. The Mid Richmond villages of Coraki, Woodburn and Broadwater experienced the highest flood levels in recorded history, with two major floods in quick succession.”- Richmond Valley Council.

Global Care Australia was one of the many organisations that came together to help with the recovery efforts.

Global Care Australia commissioned Little Drum Pictures to produce a short documentary to document the story and honour the community that gathered in Coraki and the surrounding areas.
