As Central Coast residents struggle with cost of living pressures, a forum has been organised for April 16 to help those experiencing financial difficulties.
Facilitated by Federal Member for Robertson Gordon Reid and State Member for Gosford Liesl Tesch, the Robertson Cost of Living Forum will bring together representatives from key government departments and agencies including Services Australia, Service NSW and Central Coast Council to discuss available support.
“The Federal and State Governments’ top priority is helping assist Australians with the cost of living, especially here on the Central Coast,” Reid said.
“(This forum) will be an opportunity for people to get information on what assistance they may be eligible for.
“Federal, state and local governments have a range of assistance available, including energy bill relief, water bill relief, internet relief and more.
“There is more work to do, and both the Federal and State Governments are working hard to deliver additional support.
“I would encourage those interested to … register their attendance.”
Tesch said cost-of-living is the number one issue the Central Coast community is facing.
“We are committed to providing relief, including energy bill relief, increasing the supply of affordable homes, toll relief and early childhood education rebates,” she said.
“We know that there is so much more to do, however we are not wasting a second.”
The Robertson Cost-of-Living Forum will take place from 10.30-noon on Tuesday, April 16, at Narara Community Centre, 2 Pandala Rd, Narara.
