Thursday, 18 June 2026.

Mr NEWBURY (Brighton) (12:50):

Fourteen thousand Bayside residents identify as living with a disability, of which four thousand seven hundred require daily assistance.

Community leader Emily Higgins has led the creation of Bayside Young Persons with Disabilities Roundtable, which involves disability support providers, traders, pathway employers, Mayor Debbie Taylor-Haynes, Federal Member Tim Wilson and me.

From little things, big things grow.

Thank you, Emily.
