North-Eastern Metropolitan Region
Aiv PUGLIELLI (North-Eastern Metropolitan) (12:48): (2647) My question today is to the Minister for Seniors. The north-eastern suburbs of Melbourne are home to the largest Chinese diaspora community in the country. I am incredibly proud to represent such a vibrant and diverse part of the world and to have had the opportunity to connect over the last few years with so many members of the Chinese Australian diaspora community here in this state. What I have heard from many older Chinese diaspora residents of Box Hill, Glen Waverley, Ringwood and Doncaster, for example, and beyond is that they want to see more culturally specific services in their communities as they age. By far the most popular issue that they have raised with me is that they would like to see a dedicated Chinese community aged care centre that is run by the state. Minister, will you commit to opening a state-run aged care centre for the Chinese community in my electorate?
