Evergreen West Gosford has received a special visit from the Federal Minister for Health and Aged Care, The Hon. Mark Butler MP, and local Federal Member for Robertson, Dr Gordon Reid MP.

The visit was an opportunity for Minister Butler and Dr Reid to meet with the management team of the residential and aged care facility, and to highlight several cost-of-living measures directly assisting the community.

The visit took place on Tuesday September 24.

Quotes attributable to Federal Member for Robertson, Dr Gordon Reid MP:

“Evergreen West Gosford is an outstanding residential and aged care facility, providing high-quality facilities, services, and care to its residents.

“It was an honour to be able to welcome the Federal Health Minister, Mark Butler, to our beautiful region and to tour the facilities at Evergreen West Gosford.

“The Minister and I saw firsthand the phenomenal amenities residents have access to and the day-to-day programs that are run throughout the facilities.

“The tour culminated with a morning tea with residents and management where the Minister and I were able to discuss the Federal Labor Government’s work to invest and strengthen aged care across Australia.

“Including supporting wage increases for aged care workers and ancillary staff.

“We are also committed to continuing to support our community with the cost of living through cheaper medicines, investments in bulk billing like tripling of the bulk billing incentive, and our Medicare Urgent Care Clinics, making it easier for our community to see a bulk billed doctor.

“My thanks and appreciation go to the management team at Evergreen West Gosford, its amazing staff, and to the welcoming residents for allowing the Minister and I to visit them”, Dr Reid said.

Evergreen West Gosford is located at Yallambee Avenue, West Gosford NSW 2250.
