Federal Member for Wannon Dan Tehan together with Shadow Minister for Health and Aged Care Anne Ruston visited Willaura Health Care last week.

The visit was in response to a request for Mr Tehan to visit to discuss obtaining Federal Government support for the redevelopment of Willaura Health Care following the Victorian Government announcement of $3.425 million for stage one of the redevelopment.

East Grampians Health Service Board Chair Cam Evans and Board Director Sybil Abbott Burmeister led the discussions.

Mr Evans said he was delighted the State Government had come on board and he is hoping the Federal Government can fund the aged care part of the redevelopment.

“We are hopeful they will match the Victorian Government contribution,” he said.

Mr Tehan told those at the meeting he would work hard with the Government to get the funds that the Willaura Hospital requires.
