Police with children from the SunRise Kids Early Education Centre. 
The kids enjoyed seeing the police vehicles, playing with the lights and sirens and speaking over the loud speaker. It seems some of the police enjoyed this too!
Some of the kids even dressed up as junior police officer’s on the day and a number of potential future police applicants were clearly identified amongst the kids.

 
Ipswich police remind the public that it is important to highlight to children of this age that police are there to help and also how to contact them in case of an emergency.

Scammers have set up a clone of the myGov website to trick you into sharing your login and bank account details.
The scam starts with a phishing email that looks like it is from Medicare, asking you to update your Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) details, so you can start receiving payments for Medicare benefits and claims.

If you click on the link in the email you are taken a replica of the real myGov website. You’ll note the URL includes ‘.net’ instead of ‘.gov.au’, which is an indication the website is not a legitimate Australian Government domain!
