These last couple of months has been incredibly difficult for many in our community. Whether it be parents homeschooling, businesses trying to stay afloat in any way they can or year 12 students studying for their HSC, our community has continued to show an enormous amount of resilience.Health support
Thank you for the part you are playing in keeping this virus at bay and thank you to those who have been vaccinated. We each have our own reason for being vaccinated, I got vaccinated to protect my family, our community and so that I can see my wife’s 95-year-old grandmother when restrictions ease.
Our electorate has some of the highest vaccination rates in Australia and It is more important than ever to get your vaccine if you are eligible. To check your eligibility and to book your vaccination, go to: www.health.gov.au
Support continues to be available to those who need it, whether it be financial, mental health or support for practical needs.
