Musculoskeletal Australia

David SOUTHWICK (Caulfield) (13:32): Today is not just Halloween but Rattle Ya Bones Day for Musculoskeletal Australia, their national awareness call for all Australians to take care of muscle, bone and joint conditions. Musculoskeletal Australia is located in my electorate. They do a fantastic job, and I wanted to give them a huge shout-out today in their first Rattle Ya Bones Day activity, hopefully the first of many as we continue. In Victoria alone there are over 2.25 million Victorians living with the chronic pain, discomfort and personal, professional and financial impacts of a musculoskeletal condition. That is why this day is so important. In fact one in three people suffer from some sort of muscle or joint condition, so a big shout-out to Rattle Ya Bones Day.
