MOBILE COVID-19 TESTING CLINICS: It's FREE and NO REFERRAL OR APPOINTMENT NEEDED!

The Western NSW Local Health District (LHD) drive-through COVID-19 testing is back in our region this week, visiting Rylstone, Brewarrina, Molong and Lightning Ridge.

The LHD has tested more than 15,626 people over the past four weeks, but we NEED to keep testing people, so we can stay on top of COVID-19 as restrictions are decreased. The drive-through service is free of charge, you don’t need a referral or appointment to attend and you won't even have to leave your car. Staff will come to you, do a short assessment and get your details, and then do a swab from the back of your throat and then the back of your nose. The tests are then sent away for analysis which normally takes about 48 hours. If your test is negative, you can request to get those results by text message even faster. You need to isolate until your results come back.

The symptoms of COVID-19 can be very mild, so it’s important to get tested if you feel even the slightest symptoms including: fever, a sore or ‘scratchy’ throat, a cough, runny nose, shortness of breath, tiredness and muscle aches.

If you have any questions or concerns, call the National Coronavirus Hotline on 1800 020 080 or healthdirect on 1800 022 222.

The Dubbo Train Station is set for improvements under the NSW Government's Transport Access Program (TAP) - and we want local builders and suppliers to get involved!!

The TAP makes it easier for all customers, including people with a disability, to access public transport services. Upgrades include things like: accessible pathways and ramps, tactiles on the platforms and targeted locations throughout the station, kiss and ride/accessible parking spaces, upgrading amenities including waiting rooms and ticket offices, seating, and accessible/ambulant toilet facilities, and bus and coach parking facilities.

For more information on how to get involved check the link in my bio!

A great day for the Muller Park Tennis & Croquet Club with the official opening of the new synthetic playing surface.
It was my absolute honour to unveil the plaque today, and spend some time with the members.
I look forward to more improvements in the future. 👏😁👍 #croquet #dubbonsw

Since then the nursery has expanded to become one of the largest containerised tree, fruit & nut seedling growers in Australia, on a site consisting of over 61 hectares, with the capacity to supply 18 million tree seedlings a year!!

Our community is battling through COVID-19 like the rest of the state, but it's also important to look at the opportunities the pandemic has created.

The jobs of the future will include industries like advanced manufacturing and construction to name a few, and now the NSW Government has committed $159.3 million to help residents prepare for those jobs.

The Skilling for Recovery initiative is an excellent opportunity for people in the Dubbo electorate to upskill or reskill, and for school leavers to enter the workforce for the first time. I encourage anyone who has had their work situation impacted by COVID to see if these training opportunities can help them! 👍😀
