Tarneit electorate
Dylan WIGHT (Tarneit) (14:49): (693) My question is to the Minister for Health. How will the recently announced funding for women’s health services benefit my community of Tarneit? In the most recent budget the Allan Labor government invested $18 million across 12 women’s health organisations. These organisations include Women with Disabilities Victoria, Women’s Health Victoria, the Multicultural Centre for Women’s Health and of course GenWest and more. GenWest work directly with women in areas like Tarneit to provide aid to those facing family violence. Their work includes developing safety plans and providing counselling resources to those in need. Victoria has a proud track record of investing in women’s health, from establishing Victoria’s first clinic for women’s heart health to delivering 14 sexual and reproductive health hubs and launching the state’s first ever sexual and reproductive health phone line. I am proud to be part of a government that is prioritising women’s health and safety, because everyone deserves to be able to live a happy and healthy life.
