Broadbent Welcomes Aged Care Funding

BROADBENT WELCOMES FUNDING FOR PROM COAST AGED CARE

The Member for McMillan, Russell Broadbent, has welcomed the announcement of a $9,000,000 capital funding grant from the Federal Government for Prom Country Aged Care for the development of its proposed facility at Foster.

“This is a wonderful outcome for the Prom Country Aged Care Association and a just reward for the years of hard work they have put in to planning and fund-raising for this project.

“It will enable them to go ahead with the construction of a purpose built facility that will consolidate existing aged care facilities at Foster and Toora onto the one site.

“It will guarantee long-term availability of appropriate care for the aged in an area of demonstrated need.”

“I congratulate all of the people who have worked so hard on this project.”
