FIONA PHILLIPS AND LABOR IMPROVE SUPPORT FOR JINDELARA COTTAGE

An Albanese Labor Government will provide support to Jindelara Cottage and Lions Ulladulla & Districts Community Foundation Inc to improve disability care services in Milton-Ulladulla and across the wider South Coast.

Member for Gilmore, Fiona Phillips, and Labor have committed to supporting Jindelara with $638,000 which will go towards helping to build a purpose-built residence for people with a disability, upon land already purchased with the support of Shoalhaven City Council.

Integrating a purpose-built residence with the existing respite facility will improve the already excellent level of care that Jindelara provides for people with a disability.

Comment attributable to Member for Gilmore Fiona Phillips:

“I’m really happy to announce that an Albanese Labor Government will back in Jindelara and the fantastic Lions Ulladulla and Districts Community Foundation so that we can improve the already excellent level of care at this facility.

“A purpose-built residence for people with a disability right next to a respite care facility means better care and a better life for some of the most vulnerable people in our community.

“Lions Ulladulla and Districts make me proud to be a member of our South Coast community because of the work they support at Jindelara every day. I’ll make sure they’ll get the $638,000 they need to build this facility under an Albanese Labor Government.”
