Tarneit electorate
Ms CONNOLLY (Tarneit) (14:43): (6297) My question is to the Deputy Premier in his capacity as the Minister for Mental Health. It has been more than a year since our government handed down the final report from the Royal Commission into Victoria’s Mental Health System, and as I mentioned the last time I was here in this place, this is an extremely important piece of work that our government has undertaken, putting mental health service delivery and access to mental health services as high priorities and major concerns for many, many Victorians, including in my own electorate. As part of the recommendations our government has begun work on establishing six local adult and older adult mental health and wellbeing services across Melbourne. Just recently our government announced it would expand upon that to another 21 sites across Victoria. In Wyndham we were fortunate to receive not one but two of these services, including one in Truganina, which I represent. My question to the minister is this: what mental health services will this hub provide for my community and how will it benefit my community?
