 Mr MAAS (Narre Warren South) (14:48): (6321) My constituency question is for the Minister for Multicultural Affairs and concerns the Supporting Access to Vaccination for Priority CALD Communities program. Minister, how will this program encourage and support COVID-19 vaccinations and boosters amongst my multicultural electorate of Narre Warren South? Throughout the pandemic it has been really important to ensure that everyone is provided with the best health advice and ways to keep safe. Vaccination is our main way of keeping COVID-19 under control and preventing hospitalisations and deaths. I would like to thank groups such as our local Le Mana Pasifika organisation for helping to connect our multicultural community to vaccination support and reliable information as well. I would appreciate any further information that the minister can provide on how the supporting access to vaccination for priority CALD communities program will benefit my constituents.
