Visit to Kogarah Community Services

Mr MARK COURE (OatleyMinister for Multiculturalism, and Minister for Seniors)

——Speaker, I rise to recognise and thank Kogarah Community Services, a non-for-profit organisation that does fantastic work through supporting our local community. Whilst they were established in the St George area and still continue to support locals, they now operate all across Sydney. Kogarah Community Services offer a range of services, including aged care, childcare services, an intergenerational program and a range of other community engagement initiatives. I recently visited the centre and got to see some of their amazing facilities. They continue to focus on enriching the lives of community members, including the impoverished and disadvantaged. Through the hard work of their wonderful team of volunteers, they also offer support by providing mental health services, Centrelink and employment services. I'd like to thank the executive officer of Kogarah Community Services, Kelly Ross, for being an accommodating and welcoming host. You should be so proud of your team of volunteers and all the hard work you do. I'd like to thank Kogarah Community Services again and look forward to future visits. I wish them well in their future endeavours.
