The Federal Assistant Minister for Women, Social Security, and Ageing, Kate Thwaites, will participate in a seniors forum on Tuesday, October 22 in Gosford.
Member for Robertson Dr Gordon Reid has organised the forum which will be an opportunity for the community to learn about the work being undertaken by the Federal Government to help seniors with the cost of living.
The Minister and Dr Reid will also respond to questions from those attending.
Representatives from Services Australia will be available to assist with a range of matters and queries.
“I am focused on assisting our community with the cost of living and information about support is available,” Reid said.
“The Federal Labor Government is providing a $300 energy rebate to every household, making PBS medications cheaper, and have established Medicare Urgent Care Clinics to make it easier to see a bulk-billed doctor.
“My office has been able to organise several successful cost-of-living and seniors forums across our community, providing up-to-date information and assistance to community members.
“Our next seniors’ forum will welcome Assistant Minister for Social Security, Ageing, and Women, Kate Thwaites, who will bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise.
“If you are unable to make this forum, you can contact my office for a cost-of-living kit to be sent to you,” Reid said.
The Robertson Seniors Forum will take place at Central Coast Leagues Club on Tuesday, October 22 from 10am until 11am.
