PAT IN PARLIAMENT: ACKNOWLEDGING THE CONTRIBUTIONS OF RAJA DEVINE
I took the opportunity today to dedicate my 90 second constituency statement to local Port Macquarie legend, Raja Devine.
A dedicated volunteer, Raja truly embodies the spirit of giving back to community. We are lucky to have her!

KEMPSEY EAST PUBLIC SCHOOL WILL BE KICKING GOALS! 🏉
Great to be able to catch up with KEPS P&C Association member Shaye O'Donnell and Assistant Principal Lucas Kelly last week to congratulate them on successfully securing $4,000 through the Volunteer Grant Program.
The money will go towards the purchase of brand new goal posts on the well used oval. In a region that punches well above its weight in youth sport, its great to be able to provide the equipment the kids of KEPS deserve. The new goal posts will support Rugby League, Rugby Union and AFL, providing even more opportunities for the students to enjoy sport and stay active.
A big 'thank you' to Shaye and the entire P&C team of volunteers for continuing to shine a spotlight on the needs of their students.

MACKSVILLE SOCCER CLUB'S GEAR KEPT SAFE AND SOUND ⚽🥅
Fantastic to be able to congratulate President of Macksville Soccer Club, Alanah Riddell, on her successful grant application through the Volunteer Grant program.
Run entirely by dedicated local volunteers, the club provides inclusive, accessible and affordable organised soccer programs for children aged 5 years and older. And they are growing in participant numbers year on year!
Problem is, they don't currently have a secure, weatherproof on site storage solution for their equipment and volunteers are lugging material from one end of town to the other. But thanks to the $3,630 grant, they can now purchase a dedicated shipping container that will take the pressure off the volunteers and keep everything safe, clean and centralised.
Congratulations to the Club members and a big 'thank you' for offering our community the chance to participate in local sports.

PORT MACQUARIE MARINE RESCUE UP IN LIGHTS 🔦🛥️
Great to catch up with the team at Port Macquarie Marine Rescue this week to congratulate them on their successful funding application through the Volunteer Grant program.
The crew scored $4,260 for the purchase of six hand held search lights to aid the dedicated volunteers in their rescue efforts. The portable lights will provide more accurate longer range vision, imperative for night time rescues.
Port Macquarie is so lucky to have the large volunteer cohort on hand, with an impressive 235 members. Great to see! It might have something to do with the spectacular view 😉
Thank you for dedicating your time and efforts into keeping our community safe on the water.

PORT MACQUARIE PRIVATE HOSPITAL UPGRADE COMPLETE!
Wonderful to join the celebrations today for the official opening of the Port Macquarie Private Hospital's $10 million upgrade. The project has delivered a new operating theatre, expanded diagnostic services including onsite radiology, upgraded patient rooms, improved day surgery and reception areas, a new central sterilising department, and additional parking.
These upgrades are designed to meet growing demand and improve access to safe, reliable, high-quality care for the Mid North Coast community.
Funded entirely by Ramsay Health Care, their significant investment is a testament to our region's population growth and a much needed expansion of local health service capabilities.
World class facilities like this are critical not only for the health of our communities, but also for attracting the medical professionals we so desperately need.
Congratulations to the entire team involved and a big 'thank you' to the passionate staff who kept everything running throughout the renovation process. Health Care doesn't get to take a break for construction, and your efforts have not gone unnoticed.
#HospitalUpgrade #investinginregionalhealth #portmacquarieprivatehospital
A wonderful facility and the care given to the patients is extraordinary. All the nurses physiotherapists cleaners kitchen staff doctors receptionist and more make this Hospital what is. Thank you. Well done to everyone. 👏💕
Med beds installed👌
Thanks for celebrating with us today Pat 🙌
Awesome job team. Congratulations Moira Finch
It won’t help their poor attitude towards healthcare. Let’s get people hooked on highly addictive drugs and then out they goooo. Or banning people from the hydrotherapy pool because they put their head under water against rules they never shared. I hope the hospital upgrade brings an upgrade of your minds and stupid rules into the modern century.
NAMBUCCA HEADS SURF LIVESAVING CLUB GETS A HELPING HAND
While in Nambucca this week I popped in to the Nambucca Heads SLSC to congratulate them on their successful Volunteer Grant application of $5000 towards the club's annual insurance bill.
With premiums rising considerably in recent years, insurance has become one of the highest outgoing costs for many, hitting volunteer groups particularly hard.
As you can see from the specialised equipment surrounding us, there's a lot to cover at our SLSCs right across the electorate. Great to be able to relieve some of that pressure for the Nambucca Heads team.
A big 'thank you' to Surf Club President Jeremy Burrow for the tour and the chat and congratulations on the well deserved funding boost.
To every Surf Life Saving Volunteer, thank you on behalf of our communities for keeping us safe in the water, particularly over busy holiday periods like we are experiencing at the moment. Legends one and all!

Awesome. Pat Conaghan MP Why are Surf Clubs required to pay the Emergency Services Levy as part of their insurance?
