Constituency questions
Broadmeadows electorate
Broadmeadows electorate
Mr McGUIRE (Broadmeadows) (14:46): (6271) My question is to the Minister for Aboriginal Affairs. How will the electorate of Broadmeadows benefit from the rollout of another tranche of the $40 million Aboriginal Workforce Fund? This fund will deliver training opportunities for local young people to build the workforce pipeline. It will also support efforts to sustain Indigenous organisations through building specialist capabilities and strengthening leadership, governance and workforce planning. This initiative adds value and opportunities throughout vulnerable communities. The Andrews government is already ensuring women and families across Melbourne’s north can access coordinated family violence and child and family wellbeing services in one place with the recent opening of the Orange Door network for Hume and Moreland in the global learning centre in Broadmeadows. The Orange Door network is a strong partnership. We also have the Indigenous education centre at the Kangan Institute as part of this network of opportunity being delivered. This is the way to give people a better chance in life.
