Mr Birrell and Nationals Senator and Shadow Minister for Shadow Minister for Infrastructure, Transport and Regional Development Bridget McKenzie met with project stakeholders in Seymour on Friday April 2.

Funding for the centre is urgently needed to ensure residents across the Seymour area have access to health and wellbeing support.

" e Seymour Community Wellbeing Hub is a critical piece of infrastructure and will drive social and economic development of the region," Mr Birrell said.

" e centre would provide a range of integrated services for people in the community and would signi cantly lead to better outcomes in education and physical and mental health," Mr Birrell said.

Mr Birrell said the community led project needs to be funded in Labor's upcoming budget.

" is project has been developed and championed by the community stakeholders," Mr Birrell said.

" e previous Coalition Government committed funding committed ahead of the last and I've spoken in parliament about the value of the project and called on the government to make a $10 million commitment to the hub,” Mr Birrell said.

Senator McKenzie said the Albanese Labor Government’s decision to scrap funding programs for the regions has le the Seymour Community Wellbeing Hub out in the dark.

“ e Nationals understand the importance of community focused health services such as the Seymour Community Wellbeing Hub.

“ at’s why in Government we established regionally focused grants programs such as the Building Better Regions Fund, to enable councils and regional community organisations to apply for funding.

“It is disgraceful the Albanese Labor Government abolished $10 billion in regional programs in their October budget, including scrapping the Building Better Regions Fund.

“For the past 10 months there have been no grant programs available for councils like Mitchell Shire to apply for funding from the Commonwealth for initiatives like this.
