South East Community Links

Eden FOSTER (Mulgrave) (13:03): I recently had the privilege of visiting South East Community Links in Springvale with the Minister for Consumer Affairs. This vital organisation provides invaluable support to our community. In particular, we spoke with staff who provide important financial counselling to families in my electorate and throughout the south-east. SECL have a ‘Bring your bills’ day, and recently in Springvale they helped over 300 attendees, with $511,000 in debt and bills managed for families in my area. It is clear that SECL play a crucial role in strengthening the social fabric of the Mulgrave electorate and the south-eastern suburbs, and I commend their CEO Peter McNamara and their staff for their commitment to ensuring that every person is supported. I thank them for their ongoing work.
