Southern Metropolitan Region
Katherine COPSEY (Southern Metropolitan) (12:58): (1023) My question is to the Minister for Housing. Minister, I wrote to you in January 2024 about Roza, a constituent of mine in Southern Metropolitan. I followed this up with a constituency question in March 2024, which I note remains unanswered, but there is new information. Roza applied for and was approved for a public housing transfer in 2019. Her son Akmel lives with multiple disabilities, and their current home is inaccessible. She has to carry him up and down multiple flights of stairs each day. Roza is now pregnant, and she has been hospitalised. Doctors have documented concerns that daily lifting of an older, heavier child up and down stairs is putting Roza’s health at risk. That medical assessment was sent to your office in June 2024. Minister, when will Roza and her family be approved for housing which is suitable for their needs and does not present ongoing risks for their health?
