As the Central Coast manages cost-of-living pressures, Member for Robertson Gordon Reid recently hosted a seniors’ forum in conjunction with Broadlands Green Point supported by representatives from Services Australia.
The forum provided residents of Broadlands Green Point with up-to-date information about cost-of-living measures available, as well as an opportunity to speak face-to-face with Services Australia representatives.
Reid said cost of living was the Federal Government’s number one priority.
“The government is providing a range of cost-of-living support to help ease pressure on Central Coast residents,” he said.
“Our support includes tax cuts for every Australian taxpayer, which came into effect from July 1.
“The government is also providing $300 energy rebates to every Australian household and $325 energy rebates to eligible small businesses.
“My office is also organising cost-of-living forums or seniors’ forums to better connect residents to assistance and the agencies that help during difficulty periods.
“The support provided by Services Australia representatives is invaluable; many people who had complex matters were able to get these issues investigated.
“I look forward to continuing to host cost-of-living forums and assisting our community.”
