Queenscliff Surf Life Saving Club's Centenary
Over the weekend I was pleased to attend the centenary celebrations for Queenscliff Surf Life Saving Club. Congratulations on this significant milestone.
Did you know there have been no drowning fatalities during any patrols at the club over the 100 years? Impressive. A huge thank you to all the volunteers for keeping beachgoers safe.
Northern Beaches Hospital
I have had reports of concerns in respect to the unsustainable staffing ratios and pressure being put on the wonderful staff at Northern Beaches Hospital. Many in our community are concerned about maintaining high quality public hospital care on the beaches for our community. I have written to the state Health Minister and Healthscope to seek further clarity on the issues being raised in respect to Northern Beaches Hospital and Healthscope‘s prioritisation of profit over sustainable levels of care.
I am also very concerned at the unacceptable delay in provision of youth mental health facilities to our community. Following the horrific incident at Westfield Bondi, it is clear that all levels of government must do better on mental health services. I encourage you to engage with my office and state counterparts if you share my concerns.
Traffic and Transport Forum & Survey
Have your say on local traffic and transport ahead of next month's Warringah and Wakehurst Traffic and Transport Forum, which I'm co-hosting with Michael Regan on 23 May.
Cancelled buses, congested roads, the Spit Bridge, trackless trams, more cycle paths … what are your views and suggestions for our local traffic and transport? We want to hear from you!
My team is out at shops, markets and bus stops, or you can access the community survey athttps://www.zalisteggall.com.au/surveys.

Assisting Seniors and their families to navigate aged care support
We have had a lot of positive feedback from the community about our new Seniors Guide, developed by my team to help simplify information about essential services and outline a roadmap through the array of government supports available. As many are online, it is of great assistance to have a hard copy roadmap.
You can pick up a hard copy from the electorate office. If you can’t make it to the office, you candownload a copyor email[email protected]to request one to be mailed to you.
On a similar note, if you are a senior member of our community looking to increase your computer literacy, I recently met withManly Computer Palswho provide 1 on 1 tuition.
