How is the cost of living affecting your health? 

As out of pocket healthcare costs increase, Victorians are finding it harder every day to access essential services. The Greens want to fix this, to ensure that everyone (regardless of bank balance) can get the care they need. To do this, we need your help.

Have you:
⏰ Delayed accessing healthcare in the last 12 months?
💰 Avoided seeing a doctor or getting a scan because of the cost?
🤒 Found it hard to get the healthcare you need?
🧠 Felt this impact your physical or mental health?

We want to hear about it all, and what you think the government should be doing to improve healthcare access. This will better inform our health policies and ensure we’re fighting for you and the things you need.

Take the 5-minute survey (link in bio) and help join the fight to make healthcare accessible and affordable for all.

I’m joining Senator @stephhodginsmay in hosting a Baby and Kids Clothes Swap at Windsor Community Children's Centre @windsorccc on Sunday the 20th October. Looking forward to catching up with local families and neighbours, enjoying coffee and pastries, and continuing to advocate for the community to save the centre.

Our message to the state government is loud and clear: stop the rezoning, save local childcare, and protect public land.

As someone who's lived in the area for 15 years, I've seen Windsor go from strength to strength. Glad to see it's getting recognition 😎

I was down at 259 Malvern Rd public housing tower yesterday with my team talking to residents of the next public housing tower the state Labor government are set to demolish, kicking out hundreds of residents from their homes in the middle of a housing crisis.

The residents are not happy, and neither am I. Here’s some of what they had to say when we spoke to them:

“We’re shocked. Many of the community are very upset”

“I just can’t move from here. We’re old and sick, we can’t drive, we need to be close to our doctors, to the Alfred.”

“People live their whole lives here. I’ve lived here for 55 years. The kids who go to school nearby. We would rather they just renovate and actually upkeep the building, rather than demolish.”

“This is all about the developers - this is public land! Why aren’t they prioritising building public housing first?”

I am deeply concerned about this demolition. In the middle of a housing crisis, the government should be building more public housing, not tearing it down.

Cold mornings need a kick start with a coffee from Middletown near my electorate office. 

Where do you usually get your coffee from?

Why on earth did the state government approve the sale of the land Windsor Community Children's Centre is on without first guaranteeing the Centre's future? Fortunately, there is still time to right this wrong, by stopping the rezoning and saving public land.
