I’m looking forward to officially open the new Federal Government funded $1 million Trade Skills Centre at Evans River K-12 Community School this month.
Focusing on hospitality, the new centre will help make sure students are job ready.

I opened the new $4.7 million Djanangmum Health Clinic recently.
This is to meet the primary health needs of the Indigenous community of the Richmond Valley.
