More cost of living forums planned
Following an informative cost-of-living forum at Narara Community Centre, a series of cost-of-living forums are now being planned across the region.
Dr Reid and Liesl Tesch address the Cost-of-Living Forum in Narara.
24 April 2024
MORE than 50 people attended the forum organised by Federal Member for Robertson, Dr Gordon Reid, in partnership with State Member for Gosford, Liesl Tesch.
Federal Member for Robertson, Dr Gordon Reid said “The cost of living is the Federal Labor Government’s number one priority.
“Our cost-of-living forums are providing the community with the information they need to access existing assistance.
“We are also linking the community with government agencies like Services Australia and Service NSW, which administer our cost-of-living support.
“A big thank you to representatives from Services Australia, Service NSW, and Central Coast Council, who were able to provide expert advice.
“I would encourage interested community members to come along to our next forum.”
The forum included Services Australia, Service NSW, and Central Coast Council representatives.
The purpose of the forum was to inform the community of cost-of-living assistance and the agencies that provide the support.
State Member for Gosford, Liesl Tesch said “I know that for our community, cost-of-living is the number one issue that Coasties are facing.
“The Robertson Cost-of-Living Forums are a fantastic way for our community to find out what help is available, across every level of government. I encourage Coasties to come along to future forums and find out what support is available for you.
“The NSW Government’s number one priority is cost-of-living support. Service NSW has put together a handy Cost-of-Living Hub, which brings together all NSW Government supports in one easy to navigate place. The Cost-of-Living Hub can be found by visiting https://www.nsw.gov.au/money-and-taxes/cost-of-living-hub
“Thank you to Dr Reid for facilitating these important forums and to representatives from Services Australia, Service NSW and Central Coast Council for coming along to provide support to our community.”
