Hi Mike,

I’m web manager at Austin Health, which covers Austin Hospital, Heidelberg Repatriation Hospital (listed in yr ’09 list as ‘Repat Gen Hosp Heidelberg’) and Royal Talbot Rehabilitation Centre (listed in ’09 as Royal Talbot Rehab Kew).

Our Facebook page is: http://www.facebook.com/AustinHealth (all three sites)
Royal Talbot Rehabilitation Centre also has its own: http://www.facebook.com/RoyalTalbotRehab

I tweet on behalf of the organisation from my account @tessa_r_young -- though I expect a bit of action from other accounts in that area over the next few months.

Our Fundraising Department run accounts for the Olivia Newton-John Cancer & Wellness Centre, which is being built at the Austin Hospital: http://www.facebook.com/oliviaappeal and @Olivia_Appeal

Could you please update those names and accounts for your 2012 listing?

Thanks -- for doing this and maintaining the site in general -- it’s such a great resource.

Tessa
