The Queensland Department of Education will be hosting information sessions regarding the new Special School for the #Springfield / Redbank area.
It is proposed for the new school to be co-located with Woogaroo Creek State School in Augustine Heights.
Information sessions will be held for both the Woogaroo Creek State School and Goodna Special School families with details provided in the comments ⬇️
On behalf of local families, I have been advocating for a special school for our region for many years and planning for the new school began under the former #Labor Government.
I'm keen to hear from those who may have an interest in the new Special School and will be hosting a drop-in consultation session on Tuesday 11 November from 3:30pm - 5:30pm in the Jordan Electorate Office.
If you can't make it but wish to share your thoughts, please email me at jordan@parliament.qld.gov.au. ... See MoreSee Less

Some very exciting news for the West Moreton Health Foundation! 🌻
They are the operators of ‘Cups of Care Cafe’ at the new #Ripley Health Facility - with proceeds going back into funding vital medical equipment for the region.
Of course, one of the Foundation’s biggest supporters is the incredible Jenny Jenner from Kalbar Sunflowers.
Jenny and her team have just launched their first Sunflower ice cream 🍨 which Wendy Bourne MP and I were thrilled to try - absolutely delicious!

Wow the cafe looks great.
Not one but TWO #Jordan not-for-profits have been nominated for Transurban's Community Grant 'People's Choice Award'. 🏆🏆
Voting is only open until 3 November, with the winner receiving a $10,000 prize and the runner up receiving $5,000.
I wonder if we can get both Jordan nominees - Hymba Yumba Independent School (Community Hub Foundation) and BRAKE Australia in the top 2 spots 🤔

A very exciting morning as we got a sneak peek 👀 of the brand new West Moreton Health Facility in #Ripley which opens officially on 12 November.
The $129 million Specialised Inpatient Services has 90 sub-acute hospital beds for palliative care, older persons care & rehabilitation services.
It will free up valuable beds for more acute care at Ipswich Hospital and was initiated, funded & substantially built by our former #Labor Government. 🏥
Congratulations to everyone involved in the development of this fantastic facility - we are so proud of what has been delivered for our region.

Thanks to the Albanese #labor Government, more Queenslanders will have access to Medicare bulk billing.
Starting TODAY, the Federal Government has introduced new incentives to GPs for every single patient they bulk bill. Previously these incentives were only for children under 16 and concession card holders.
About 150 clinics across QLD have already indicated they will become full bulk billing including Woodcrest Way Family Practice in #Springfield! ... See MoreSee Less

I was so grateful for the ymca being open and accessible for food and electricity while being on hold trying to get through to my insurers. The community that rallied to give each other help in those initial days mattered so much.
Charis Mullen MP thank you so much for your continued support throughout the recovery. The way the community came together will forever remain with me. 💕
The support you provided during that time will never be forgotten - thank you 🙏
