 Mornington/Warrane will be one of six locations for new CFCs
 Child and Family Centres part of Labor’s commitment to lifelong education journey
 Increasing access to crucial health, education support services a priority for Labor
Pembroke families will get the best start with Labor’s commitment today to build a new Child and Family Centre in the Mornington/Warrane area.
Joining candidate Jo Siejka in the electorate today, Labor Leader Rebecca White said the centre was part of a majority Labor Government’s commitment to provide Tasmanian families and children with access to the services and support they need from before birth.
“A Labor Government will build six new Child and Family Centres and that’s part of our commitment and genuine determination to give Tasmanian families the best access to early learning, health services and family support,” Ms White said.
“Child and Family Centres have a proven record of improving health and education outcomes for Tasmanians and they provide important support for new families.
“Considering how invaluable these centres have been as a hub for families to access, it’s important we build on the existing CFC network and I’m proud to be able to announce that the Mornington and Warrane area will be the site of one of the six that will be built by a Labor Government.
“Jo Siejka’s priorities are education and skills and training as well as the critical need for improved health services and she will be talking to this community about the best location for the new centre.”
Ms Siejka said families in the Pembroke area would greatly benefit with Labor’s investment.
“Families are telling me they want support to give their children the best start in life and that’s why this new centre will be so important,” Ms Siejka said.
“Of course there will be flow-on effects for the community as well with jobs in the construction phase.
“The community will be empowered to jointly decide the best location for the new Centre, just as Labor did prior to building the existing 12 Child and Family Centres across Tasmania.
“Families in the Pembroke electorate and everywhere in Tasmania deserve access to the best possible health, education and social services.”
