Funding for community care
A number of Peninsula organisations will receive funding as part of the Federal Government's Home and Community Care program.
The Peninsula Community Care Inc. will receive $33,000 for a new IT system and Community Care Services Central Coast will receive $17,000 for a new concrete pathway and awning at Woy Woy dementia day care centre.
The Woy Woy Peninsula Neighbourhood Service will receive $2000 for new IT equipment.
Member for Robertson Ms Deborah O'Neill said: "This funding will allow local care providers to upgrade some of their facilities and carry out minor capital works."
She said that it helped people whose capacity for independent living was at risk.
Ms O'Neill praised the organisations for their important work in the community.
"It goes without saying that we all want people to remain independent, in their own homes and communities, close to friends and family for as long as they can."
