Tim PALLAS (Werribee – Treasurer, Minister for Industrial Relations, Minister for Economic Growth) (09:39): I rise to update the house on the recently completed Wyndham early parenting centre in my electorate. With doors opening later this month, the centre is set to become a support hub for new parents living in the west. As Wyndham is one of the fastest growing LGAs in the state, with 110 babies born each week, it is so important that parents have access to specialised support close to home. The centre is equipped to assist parents to build their parenting skills – from newborns to toddlers. Tweddle Child and Family Health Service has supported young families in the inner west for over 100 years. I am proud that our government has expanded the services closer to home for residents in the rapidly growing outer west. From helping with sleep, settling, feeding and bonding, the centre helps build better parent-child relationships and ensures all children are meeting their developmental milestones. The Allan Labor government is committed to improving the lives of our youngest constituents and their parents. The Wyndham early parenting centre will help parents as they adjust to parenthood, helping to reduce postnatal depression, isolation and stress. This is only the first of 12 new and upgraded early parenting centres moving to the state. From the 2023–24 budget we saw $148 million invested in expanding our early parenting services network. We want the best start for all Victorians, and as the member for Werribee I am excited to see the benefits the Wyndham early parenting centre will have for children and parents locally.
