Raising my family in a regional community, I know how tough it can be to access healthcare services when you need them.
By working together, we have already been able to make medicines cheaper, open multiple free mental health hubs and a new Medicare Urgent Care Centre in Queanbeyan. If you have used any of these services, I'd love to hear of your experience.
There is still more to do, and I will continue to work with anyone at any level of government to get the job done.
It can be difficult finding services close to you, so to help with this, I have collated this list of public health services in Eden-Monaro for your convenience.
If you have a suggestion about how we can improve health services in Eden-Monaro, please don't hesitate to gt in touch - I'd love to hear your thoughts.
