Lara electorate community hubs
Ella GEORGE (Lara) (19:03): (1281) My adjournment matter is for the Minister for Multicultural Affairs, and the action that I seek is that the minister visit with one of the incredible community hubs that are in the electorate of Lara. These community hubs are based in primary schools, and the hubs engage families, especially women and preschool-aged children from culturally diverse backgrounds, connecting them with one another and their schools, local services and broader communities. The Lara electorate is incredibly diverse, representing a vibrant mix of cultures. These community hubs play a crucial role in assisting newly arrived migrants and are an essential resource for our culturally and linguistically diverse communities. They help to link individuals in need with educational opportunities, social networks and vital services. Visiting a hub would be a fantastic opportunity for the minister to hear about the work that is being done to support our multicultural community locally in Geelong’s north, and I look forward to hosting the minister.
