Herbert Joseph Chambers was born in 1912 in Clifton Hill, Victoria. Later he was to live in Clark and Charles Streets in Northcote, in South Caulfield, and finally in Mentone. While he may have worked at the Kew Asylum before 1945, that year was when he was presented with a Certificate issued by the Department of Mental Hygiene (Victoria) declaring that he had completed training and passed the examinations required to work as a 'Mental Attendant’. The document is dated 19th December 1945 and signed by the Director of the Department and by the Co-Examiners. From at least 1945, he was to work as a member of the male staff of the Asylum, mainly in the Refractory Ward. A donor gifted to the Kew Historical Society in February 2019 a number of items collected by Herbert Chambers in his work at the Asylum. These include his Certificate of Registration, a photograph taken of him with two colleagues at Circular Quay in Sydney, a notebook containing ‘SP’ betting records of male asylum staff, and five sketchbooks with artwork created by Kenn’th [sic] Bailey, a patient of the Asylum. Herbert Chambers’ period of employment at the Kew Asylum coincided with the employment of the English psychiatrist Dr Eric Cunningham Dax (1908-2008) as Chairman of the Mental Hygiene Authority in 1952. Dr Dax introduced an art therapy program into Victorian psychiatric hospitals, including Kew, where it is likely that the five sketchbooks were created. The sketchbooks are believed to have been presented to Chambers by Bailey as a “gift for looking after him”. Herbert Chambers retired from the Kew Asylum in c.1970 after working there for almost thirty years.Representative example of certification required to work as a Mental Attendant in Victoria.Certificate issued by the Department of Mental Hygiene (Victoria) declaring that Herbert Joseph Chambers has completed training and passed examinations required to work as a 'Mental Attendant.

This document presents the findings of a hazardous material survey conducted at the Fortuna Facility in Bendigo in August 1996. The Survey Objective was to Assess the presence, location, type, and condition of hazardous materials—specifically asbestos-containing materials, synthetic mineral fibre products, and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs)—and provide recommendations to minimize health and safety risks. Buildings 8, 10, 16, 16A, 16B, and 18, including associated structures, were examined. Asbestos-Containing Materials: Located in cement sheet, moulded cement vents, vinyl floor tiles, fibrous board, and electrical switchboards. Generally present a negligible or low exposure risk if left undisturbed. Removal is only recommended if maintenance, refurbishment, or demolition will disturb these materials. Fibrous asbestos board in the south ceiling space of Building 16 should be removed as soon as practicable.S ynthetic Mineral Fibre Products: Found in pipe, duct, and ceiling insulation. Pose negligible exposure risk under normal occupancy. Any work involving these fibres should comply with the National Standard and Code of Practice for Safe Use of Synthetic Mineral Fibre (1990). Older fluorescent light fittings and electrical transformers may contain PCBs. PCBs are hazardous due to their chemical properties and potential health risks. Recommendations Asbestos: Remove only if disturbance is likely, except for the specific board in Building 16, which should be removed promptly. Follow national safety standards during any work that may disturb these materials. PCBs: Be aware of potential presence in older electrical equipment and manage accordingly. The survey was conducted in accordance with Victorian Occupational Health and Safety (Asbestos) Regulations 1992. The document also includes appendices with general information and analytical results related to asbestos and synthetic mineral fibres.Hazardous Material Survey Fortuna Facility Bendigo, work performed for Carson Group Pty Ltd by Kilpatrick and Associates Pty Ltd, Occupational Hygeine and Ergonomics Consultants, 239 Bay Street, Brighton, 3186 This Document Contains the following Items: 11231.3b This document presents the findings of a hazardous material survey conducted at the Fortuna Facility in Bendigo in August 1996.

Black dust-jacket over black hard-cover book. Spine shows the gold Australian Army emblem at the top and then the title in white, there is a spine label at the base. Front cover has VD in large white letters at the top, followed by the sub-title and an image of three men in surgical gowns in a surgical room. The page has translucent red bubble images over it.non-fictionSexually transmitted diseases, for centuries lumped together as 'Venereal Disease', or 'VD' for short, have always marched in lock-step with soldiers from all armies wherever they have served. During the twentieth century at least 125,000 Australian soldiers contracted VD while serving in overseas deployments - the equivalent of six World War I infantry divisions. No one has previously told this alarming story in its entirety, and few authors could tell it as frankly or objectively as Ian Howie-Willis. As readers will soon realise, Dr Howie-Willis has dealt with this confronting subject candidly but sensitively. His scholarship in this carefully researched book is immaculate, but the book's great strength is its fairness to and compassion for the tens of thousands of people who succumbed to sexually transmitted diseases as a result of Australia's military involvements across a century of overseas deployments. - from Trove.military hygeine, australian army - medical care - history, soldiers - health and hygeine, sexually transmitted diseases
