Adjournment

TaskForce, Frankston


TaskForce, Frankston

Mr EDBROOKE (Frankston) (17:03): (6527) My adjournment is for the Minister for Prevention of Family Violence, and I ask that the minister to attend the official opening of the TaskForce office in Frankston on 18 October. TaskForce offer a range of services across the south-east of Victoria. Their focus is providing support to local communities, particularly those most in need, to improve quality of life, economic participation and connection to community. They have been running programs in my local community successfully for the last 10 years and offering services such as alcohol and other drug treatment services; the Living Free project, which assists young women in our community; the Frankston North bike project, which is an absolute belter of a little project; and the behaviour change program for licence restoration, supporting drink and drug drivers to do the right thing. These programs are vital to my community, and now TaskForce will have a permanent home in Frankston, and I know that we would welcome the minister at the opening of their new office.
