FEDERAL Member for Robertson, Dr Gordon Reid will facilitate the forum and will be joined by former nurse and Assistant Minister for Health and Aged Care, The Hon. Ged Kearney MP, and local doctor, Colette Hourigan, a specialist in women’s healthcare.
Over 150 people attended the first women’s health forum in 2023, which included Assistant Minister Emma McBride MP, and Dr Kelly Teagle.
Federal Member for Robertson, Dr Gordon Reid said, “Our second Central Coast Women’s Health Forum will again provide local women an opportunity to discuss issues surrounding women’s health and service provision.
“Our first forum, at Umina Beach, was well attended with over 150 women contributing to policy discussions.
“The information that was recorded at our first forum was conveyed to the Minister for Health which helped strengthen healthcare services and led to improvements including recent PBS listings for drugs that help women living with endometriosis.
“Our second forum aims to again be an opportunity for women in the region to identify areas in women’s healthcare where the Federal Government can improve.
“The forum is open to anyone in our community passionate about healthcare services and wanting to contribute to policy discussions that lead to better healthcare.
“When I ran for office in 2022, my number one priority was to help address the issues affecting our healthcare services. I remain committed to this objective, and I will always use my position to advocate for better healthcare on the Central Coast.”
The Second Central Coast Women’s Health Forum will take place at the Impact Centre, 19 Chetwynd Road, Erina on Tuesday 18 February.
The forum will commence at 5:30 PM and finish around 7 PM.
Registration is essential as the venue has limited capacity, so register as soon as possible to secure your spot.
To register, visit Women's Health Forum or call Dr Reid’s office on 4322 2400 or email his office.
