Member for The Entrance David Mehan has attended an event to celebrate the construction of a new office building to accommodate frontline counsellors and case managers at the Central Coast Community Women’s Health Centre in Wyoming.
The project was primarily funded by the Department of Communities and Justice under the COVID-19 Sexual Domestic and Family Violence Infrastructure Grant Program.
The $8M grant program aims to support sexual, domestic and family violence services, through a one-off capital infrastructure grant.
This is in addition to the NSW Labor Government delivering on its commitment to boost funding for Women’s Health Centres across NSW to ensure they are properly resourced to provide essential health and wellbeing services, which sees the Central Coast Community Women’s Health Centre in Wyoming allocated $3.484M.
“The Central Coast Community Women’s Health Centre plays an important role in our community by providing dedicated health services for women across the Central Coast,” Mehan said.
“This new building will allow essential frontline services to continue to be provided to protect clients and families at risk of harm, abuse, and neglect.
“The funding boost from the NSW Government is a vital investment that reaffirms our position that Women’s Health Centres are essential and the health services they provide will continue to save lives.”
