Moving Forward

Mr MARK COURE (Oatley)

—Speaker, I rise today to recognise Moving Forward who are an outstanding local organisation in Hurstville run by the magnificent Jan Christie. Formally known as St George Women's Housing, the organisation has been running for more than 25 years and they provide a range of services to those that have suffered from family and community violence. Earlier this year, I had the honour of meeting with Jan and her team to announce that their organisation would share in $200,000 to increase their client intake as well as the quality of their services. I was also lucky enough to be joined by NSW Attorney General, Mark Speakman, who provided insight into how our Government is working towards preventing domestic violence and providing the best possible care to victims. It was a fantastic opportunity to sit down with the Attorney General and Jan to discuss the importance of the funding and how it will directly benefit local residents in our region. Congratulations again to Jan and her team. I hope to see your organisation run well into the future.
