Adjournment

Footscray electorate mental health services

Katie HALL (Footscray) (17:02): (1171) My request is for the Minister for Mental Health in the other place to join me in Footscray to discuss our proposal for a multidisciplinary response to homelessness and acute mental health challenges in central Footscray. Funding for support workers was provided in the recent budget to help deliver the program, which will be established in collaboration with the City of Maribyrnong, existing service providers and community and cultural organisations. An EOI process will take place to determine a suitable provider, and I ask that Minister Stitt join me on a walk-through of the proposed site where we can discuss how this innovative project can help meet the needs of residents.
