The Centre for Non-Violence is concerned by Facebook's changes to its page.

"We are concerned important safety messaging for women and children experiencing family violence has been removed from Facebook, and hope this will be soon rectified," a CNV spokesperson said.

Information is still available from CNV's website, as well as its Twitter and Instagram profiles.

If you or someone you know is experiencing violence, help is available. Call:

If life is in danger, call Triple Zero (000).

A number of central Victorian Facebook pages earlier affected by the company's news ban appear to be loading as usual.

Posts on the City of Greater Bendigo's Facebook page have reappeared.

The Victoria Police Eyewatch pages for both the Goldfields and the Campaspe police service areas are loading with posts, too.

The ban still seems to be in place for other affected pages like Coliban Water, the Centre for Non-Violence, Bendigo Bank, Castlemaine Health, and Haven; Home, Safe.

Posts on Bendigo councillor Dave Fagg's Facebook page also appear to have been blocked.

POLICE, a city council, a water utility company, a specialist domestic and family violence response service, a bank, a health service and and a Bendigo-based housing assistance provider are among those affected by Facebook's news ban.

Posts have been wiped from two central Victorian police Eyewatch pages, from the City of Greater Bendigo's Facebook page, from Coliban Water's page, from the Centre for Non-Violence's page, from Bendigo Bank's page, from Castlemaine Health's page, and from Haven; Home, Safe's page.

Eyewatch - Goldfields Police Service Area and Eyewatch - Campaspe Police Service Area are the police pages known to be affected.

Bike Bendigo, Interchange Loddon-Mallee Region and Amicus also appear to be affected.

More news: 'Disappointed': Facebook bans news and divides users

Facebook has restricted Australian users and publishers from sharing or viewing news in response to the federal government's proposed media bargaining code.

But restrictions on content from authorities, including the Bureau of Meteorology, has prompted questions about the extent of the ban.

Facebook released a statement on Thursday saying the proposed media bargaining code fundamentally misunderstood the relationship between its platform and publishers who used it to share news content.

"It has left us facing a stark choice: attempt to comply with a law that ignores the realities of this relationship or stop allowing news content on our services in Australia," the company's statement said.

"With a heavy heart, we are choosing the latter."

The Facebook page changes come as authorities seek to update stakeholders about their services, as Victoria emerges from a five-day lockdown.

City of Greater Bendigo chief executive Craig Niemann said it was disappointing to find the organisation's main Facebook page was affected.

Facebook pages for YoBendigo, Explore Bendigo and the City of Greater Bendigo's new Connect page were unaffected.

"Our main Facebook page does not share news from media outlets but has unfortunately been caught up in the ban and we are aware of other councils having similar challenges," Mr Niemann said.

He said the city's main page provided key information to the community.

Mr Niemann encouraged residents to check the city's website and subscribe to its weekly e-newsletter for information about services.

"They can also follow us on Twitter and Instagram, and all current community engagement opportunities are available on our new Let's Talk platform, www.letstalkgreaterbendigo.com.au," Mr Niemann said.
