Lara electorate
Ella GEORGE (Lara) (14:41): (275) My question is for the Minister for Health, and I ask the minister to provide an update on how the McKellar Kids’ Rehab centre is helping families in my electorate of Lara and the wider community. The state-of-the-art kids’ rehab centre at the McKellar Centre in North Geelong opened last year and is home to the Barwon Health-operated Victoria Paediatric Rehabilitation Service and the Young Adults Transition Service, providing a purpose-built space for children and adolescents to undergo rehabilitation. The centre supports families in this space, which includes a rehabilitation gym, therapy kitchen, outdoor therapy garden and family-friendly treatment rooms. McKellar Kids’ Rehab provides state government-funded specialist rehabilitation services for young people aged up to 25 years who have sustained a traumatic brain injury, spinal injury, stroke or who require treatment after cancer or for other conditions such as cerebral palsy. Again, my question is: can the minister please outline how the McKellar Kids’ Rehab centre is helping families in the electorate of Lara and the wider community?
