Yarrawonga community visitor program
Tim McCURDY (Ovens Valley) (10:14): The Yarrawonga community visitor program is concerned about the lack of funding through the Office of the Public Advocate. I spoke in depth with local residents who go around our region meeting up with people with disabilities to ensure they are being cared for. There is a small amount of money for petrol, but at the end of the day this money is getting squeezed tighter and tighter. I congratulate those from the Yarrawonga community visitor program, and I call on the Victorian government to properly fund these people who reach out to people with disabilities.
