Voice Referendum Discussion

The Federal Member for Chisholm, Dr Carina Garland MP, invites you to join her for a discussion about the Voice Referendum and the Yes campaign on Sunday 13 August from 12noon to 2:30pm at the Springvale City Hall (18 Grace Park Avenue). 

Linda Burney MP (Minister for Indigenous Australians), Clare O’Neil MP (Minister for Home Affairs), Andrew Giles MP (Minister for Immigration, Citizenship, and Multicultural Affairs) and local community leaders will be there. 

Voting “Yes” for constitutional recognition through a Voice is about recognition, listening and better results. It’s our opportunity to recognise 65,000 years of history. And start better listening to communities to make a practical difference to the lives of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. 

Please RSVP by calling my office on 9808 3188 or email carina.garland.mp@aph.gov.au

Family and friends are welcome too. For more information about the Voice Referendum, visit Dr Garland's website here.

Saver Plus – helping take the stress out of back to school time

 

The Saver Plus community program has helped over 55,000 Australians take the stress out of back to school time. It’s free for eligible people to join.

At Saver Plus, we pair you with a savings coach while you budget and save over the next 10 months. You attend online workshops to learn tips, tricks and information to grow your budgeting and savings skills. Once you reach your agreed savings goal, ANZ matches your savings dollar-for-dollar, up to $500. You can use that money towards education costs such as uniforms, text books, laptops or extra-curricular activities such as sport or music.

You could be eligible to join Saver Plus if you:

  • have a Centrelink Health Care Card or Pensioner Concession Card
  • are at least 18 years old
  • have some regular income from work (you or your partner) including casual, part-time, full‑time or seasonal (we also accept child support and carer’s payment as income)
  • have a child at school or attend vocational education yourself.

If you’re eligible, start now and we’ll help take the stress out of next year’s back to school.
