River’s Gift evolved from a simple pledge following the death of River Waddell to Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) in November 2011. 
This pledge was to Stamp Out SIDS and ensure that no other parent would endure the pain and suffering of the unexpected and unexplained loss of their precious child.
River’s Gift...* Funds world leading SIDS research with $70,000 recently dedicated to a genetic study at The University of Adelaide
* Provides research based education for parents, parents to be, grandparents and health professionals on Safe sleep and SIDS
* Enables other SIDS families to have a platform to honour their own child through supported fundraising events, friendships…and an element of hope for the future.
Let's get active and honour River's 9th birthday, with River's Gifts 'virtual' run training program, starting May 25.
Karl, father to River checked into the Departure Lounge to encourage us to lace up and get moving.

Season 12 of Masterchef will begin to look different again.

Nope, not NEW new hosts...

We can't confirm a futuristic 

Masterchef will look very different on our TV screens from now as the coronavirus pandemic and social distancing rules started to apply to the series.

Judge Jock Zonfrillo checked into the Departure Lounge with Stampsy and Josh to talk about the changes and his bromance with fellow judge Andy Allen.

Michaela Pascoe is a researcher who specialises in mental health. She studies the impact of stress on the brain and mood outcomes. Her current research focuses on how mindfulness and physical activity can modulate stress and improve mental health.
Michaela checked into the Departure Lounge to answer if we need human contact now more than ever because we can't have it.
What can we do if we aren't in a relationship?

Due to COVID-19 there are a lot of people who have become recently unemployed and who are concerned about how this will impact on their current housing situation.

The system can be really confusing and it is really important to know what your rights are, what payments you might be eligible for and that if you run into trouble it can be a good idea to speak to a lawyer. 

Barwon Community Legal Service provides free legal help to people experiencing such issues. 

Here are some common questions community members have been asking about rental issues arising out of the CVOID-19 pandemic.

Can a tenant still be evicted for not paying the rent?
Can a tenant ask for the rent to be reduced?
Is there other help for struggling renters?
What about if a renter needs to leave their tenancy agreement early?

Shane Foyster from Barwon Legal Centre Service knows your rental rights (and is bloody passionate about the law around it). Shane checked into the Departure Lounge with Stampsy and Josh to answer your questions.

Australia’s entertainment sensation, The Voice, returns for its biggest, boldest and most controversial season yet this Sunday (May 24, at 7.00pm) on Nine.

For the very first time, all four superstar Coaches from the previous season – Delta Goodrem, Boy George, Kelly Rowland and Guy Sebastian – are back by popular demand, more competitive than ever, and eager to turn one highly talented artist into The Voice of Australia, winning a coveted recording contract with EMI Music along with $100,000 in prize money.
 
After proving to be a winner with fans last season, new All-Stars are back, with some of the most incredible voices returning from previous seasons of The Voice.

In 2020, the level of talent promises to be the highest in the history of the show: including an international winner of The Voice, a winner of Australian Idol, and the youngest artist to ever audition in the global history of the entertainment blockbuster.

This season will also feature dramatic innovations such as the Block, to raise the competitiveness to a new level. During the Blind Auditions, each Coach will be allowed two Blocks which will deny the other Coaches the chance to pitch for the amazing voices they hear.
 
Guy Sebastian checked into the Departure Lounge with Stampsy and Josh to talk about the new season... and the surprising answer to who is most competitive at Cards Against Humanity. 

German producer Topic releases the follow up to his global hit ‘Home feat. Nico Santos’, certified double platinum in Australia.
"Breaking Me" is out now and he checked into the Departure Lounge to chat about it.
