Wendouree electorate
Juliana ADDISON (Wendouree) (14:42): My constituency question is for the Minister for Children in the other place. Minister, how is the Ballarat early parenting centre supporting families with children from birth up to four years in my electorate of Wendouree? The Grampians early parenting centre was officially opened to families on 14 May 2024, a year ago yesterday, so a very happy first birthday to our EPC. I want to thank the incredible multidisciplinary Grampians Health team, including a nurse unit manager, registered nurses, midwives, maternal and child health nurses, play therapists, early parenting practitioners, psychologists, psychiatrists and social workers. Importantly, I want families from across Ballarat to know that they can self-refer to the EPC using the online form. They can also be referred there by their GP or maternal and child health nurse. Our EPC provides a home-like atmosphere where families can participate in programs. Happy birthday!
