 Tom McINTOSH (Eastern Victoria) (09:56): It was great to be with the Minister for Ageing in Orbost last week, where we got to visit the new aged care facility at Orbost Regional Health as it has reached structural completion. The $45 million investment is going to see 38 new modern single bedrooms with ensuites. There are a couple of hundred jobs in the construction process. It is a really big, beautiful building; it is state of the art and fit for purpose. It is going to be brilliant for the workforce as they care for locals who age in place in their community, with friends and family nearby, with a beautiful view over the newly consolidated primary and secondary college.
