Pleased to join The club Commodore, Roberta and others at the Hastings yacht club season opening - they do a great job supporting the Sailability Program which in turn supports people of all ages who might otherwise never have the opportunity to sail.

Great to be with Olivia Newton John at the ONJCR Wellness Walk and Research Run today, to announce $3 million for clinical trials focused on understanding the benefits of medicinal cannabis for cancer patients.
The 1000s of enthusiastic walkers in attendance was a warm reminder we are all working together to find a cure.

October is #BreastCancerAwarenessMonth and I encourage every woman to check when they’re due for a mammogram and book an appointment. 30 minutes spent on early detection can help save lives.

Swimming is a big part of our way of life on the Mornington Peninsula and is a great way to stay active and healthy at any age. However, some people in our community need a bit of extra support to be able to enjoy the benefits of swimming
The Morrison Government’s new Community Swimming Grants provide a great opportunity for local community groups to get funding to share the love of swimming with more people on the Mornington Peninsula.
