[Outline]
 This service is provided by the medical institution in Melbourne (specified below) to assist Japanese people living in Australia who have been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic by providing free health and mental health counselling services. We hope you will take advantage of this service. The service is coming to an end, so please do not miss this opportunity.
