The Indi Cultural Policy Roundtable will be held on Tuesday June 6 from 3pm to 4pm at the Wangaratta Performing Arts Centre.

Independent Federal Member for Indi Helen Haines has announced twenty-three volunteer groups in Indi have been awarded a share of $66,216 in funding.

Our aged-care workers are at the heart of the system, but across Indi aged-care facilities tell me how incredibly hard it is to attract the much-needed workforce to keep their doors open.

People must be at the centre of everything we do.

This bill’s proposal has a simple intention: to empower Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples to have a say in the policy and legislation that affects them.

Our rural health workforce is so thin that both our hospitals and aged-care services have no choice but to pay exorbitant agency and accommodation fees to employ and house doctors and nurses.

Too many older Australians are denied high-quality and safe care.

My electorate is facing strong demand for employees, yet there are major skills shortages.

The Government must invest in critical enabling infrastructure to boost housing supply in regional Australia, Dr Helen Haines has told the National Rural Press Club in Canberra.

In Australia, especially in the regions, the heart our problem is the desperate lack of housing supply.
