Monbulk electorate
Daniela DE MARTINO (Monbulk) (14:53): (219) My constituency question is for the Minister for Health. Minister, what impact will the comprehensive women’s health clinics at both Casey Hospital and Maroondah Hospital have on women’s health in my electorate of Monbulk? The Victorian budget 2023–24 invested more than $153 million to completely change the way women’s health issues are treated in our state. Across Victoria women’s health facilities are already changing the way conditions like endometriosis, pelvic pain, polycystic ovarian syndrome, perimenopause and menopause are treated, and not a moment too soon. I would like to understand the positive impacts which the women of Monbulk might expect to enjoy once these facilities are open, and I look forward to the minister’s response, as I am keen to communicate this with my constituents, because making the women of Monbulk aware of these facilities and the benefits they will provide is crucial in ensuring they engage with the services in the first place so they receive the help which they both need and deserve.
