Community Recognition Statement

Mr ANOULACK CHANTHIVONG (Macquarie Fields) (16:07): I take this opportunity to recognise the South West Nepalese community's contribution to our local area.

I was delighted to attend the organisation's recent event on health awareness at Minto.

There are few more important public policy issues than health and the wellbeing of our community. Raising awareness and providing information to community members is an important part of promoting preventative health.

The medical presenters covered a wide range of topics, including physical, oral and mental health.

I take this opportunity to recognise the organisers for hosting such an important community function. I commend Davendra and the South West Nepalese executive for a job well done. A well‑organised and attended event does not happen by accident, but rather through the continued efforts and dedication of people in our local community.

 I forward to attending future events and working with the South West Nepalese community to make our community a better place.
