Pollies ignoring methadone planA PROPOSAL to move drug replacement dispensing from pharmacies near Frankston station to a dedicated centre at Frankston Hospital has received little support from the two major political parties, says lobby group Frankston Community Coalition.

The group formed in January

to pressure politicians for a better deal for the city in the run-up to the November state election says Labors Paul Edbrooke and the Liberal Partys Sean Armistead have shown little interest in this and other community coalition proposals.

More than 14,000 Victorians are receiving Opioid Replacement Therapy (ORT) in an effort to limit the harm of addiction to heroin and other illegal drugs.

ORT is the medical procedure of

replacing an illegal opioid, such as heroin, with methadone, buprenorphine or suboxone. Replacements are supposed to be taken under medical supervision.

The growth in addicts using ORT has been credited with reducing the demand for and harm of heroin, while allowing users to gain control over their lives, but the community coalition says better support for addicts would be provided by a health and human services hub at the hospital.

Community coalition spokeswoman Christine Richards said despite verbal and written briefings and submissions going back to April this year and two public forums attended by the Labor and Liberal candidates, we dont have even one response on any issue from the Labor, Liberal or Greens candidates.

We are calling for an end to the drug culture around the station. Too many pharmacies dispensing drug substitutions are concentrated around

the station: there are six operating within 500 metres of each other.

In addition, more than the average number of drug addicts is being treated in Frankston City, Ms Richards said.

With 576 clients registered for this replacement therapy last year, Frankston appears to be servicing three times more than it would if distribution were spread evenly across all Victorian municipalities.

AN emergency department will be built at Peninsula Private Hospital in McClelland Drive, Langwarrin. The decision was announced last week by Ramsay Health Care and Australian Unity Healthcare Property Trust.

The proposed $55 million-plus development has been given the nod by Frankston City Council to modify the master plan for the site. It has also received approval-in-principle from the Victorian Department of Health.

The emergency department is part of a major building re-development in which a further 71 inpatient beds is being added to the hospital. A state of the art operating room will be added to the existing operating room complex to enable highly technical procedures to be performed at the hospital.

A much anticipated parking facility and relocated imaging and pathology services will support the new emergency department. Further specialist consulting suites will also be added.

Ramsay Health Cares second hospital on the Mornington Peninsula, Beleura Private Hospital in Mornington, is also being substantially redeveloped. Around $10 million is being spent on a comprehensive inpatient rehabilitation facility with gymnasium and hydrotherapy centre.

Planning minister Matthew Guy will turn the sod today (Monday) at Peninsula Private Hospital to officially start construction.

ADCO construction is overseeing the development which will take 18 months, providing employment opportunities for construction workers in the greater Frankston region.

Once the complex development

Works begin at hospitalis complete, the new emergency department will be a valuable asset for the local community, CEO Greg Hall said. The hospital will employ an additional 120 full time equivalent staff.

Mr Hall acknowledged that the ageing population on the Mornington Peninsula would be significant users of the new service.

Demand for emergency services is high on the peninsula, with Frankston Hospital emergency department recognised as one of the busiest emergency departments in the state, he said.

The emergency department will be supported by an intensive care unit commissioned 18 months ago.

FRANKSTON mayor Darrel Taylor will hand over the robes and cer-emonial chains to his successor on Wednesday evening when councillors meet to formally vote in the citys next civic leader.

Councillors will vote on Wednesday 12 November to decide who the next mayor will be but met informally late last week to discuss the matter.

Councils traditionally prefer coun-cillors to meet behind closed doors before the public vote to ensure the appointment of a new mayor is not mired in political and personal debate.

A deputy mayor will also be voted in by councillors on Wednesday even-ing.

Mayors serve a 12-month term and the annual remuneration is about $85,000.

Major election pledges duplicated

Family visit: Premier Denis Napthine, second right, and Carrum MP Donna Bauer, right, visited Glenn and Dayle Tasker last week.

PREMIER Denis Napthine visited a Carrum Downs family last week with a media pack on his campaign trail as he announced a commitment to spend up big on an overhaul of Thompsons Rd if his Coalition government is re-elected on 29 November.

The Premier said a re-elected Coalition government will spend $310 million to improve Thompsons Rd, including two grade separations and lane duplications.

The revamped Thompsons Rd will be six lanes wide between the Western Port Highway and South Gippsland Highway and between McCormicks and Dandenong-Frankston roads. It will be four lanes between McCormicks Rd and Western Port Highway.

The oft-congested Thompsons Rd level crossing will be removed and a grade separated interchange will replace the Western Port Highway roundabout.

Once the upgrade is complete, drivers using Thompsons Road will save up to 20 minutes as average speeds during peak hour will increase to 70 km/h from the current 20 km/h, Dr Napthine said.

No matter where you travel or whether you choose to go by train or by car, we will get you there faster and make your journey safer.

Carrum MP Donna Bauer said Thompsons Rd needed to be widened to six lanes in key sections because duplication is simply not enough for our growing region.

Only the Coalition governments upgrade includes an overpass of the

Neil [email protected]

Western Port Highway. The overpass is the most important component of the project in terms of removing congestion, Ms Bauer said.

Earlier this year, Labor opposition leader Daniel Andrews announced a $175m duplication of Thompsons Rd between East Link and Clyde Road in Cranbourne to ease traffic congestion.

The major political parties are scrambling to match promises and one up each other as the marginal bayside sandbelt seats of Frankston, Carrum, Mordialloc and Bentleigh shape up as pivotal to both the Liberal Party and Labors hopes of forming government.

On Friday, Liberal candidate for Frankston Sean Armistead visited McClelland Secondary College in Frankston with Education Minister Martin Dixon to announce a $4.5m commitment to upgrade the schools sports facilities, finish a modern gymnasium and expand amenities for students and staff.

This is a fantastic announcement for students and families in the Frankston community. If elected, I will work hard with the great schools here in Frankston to support our students and families, Mr Armistead said.

In October, McClelland Secondarys assistant principal Tristan Lanarus said he had approached former Liberal, now independent, MP Geoff Shaw to push to have any incoming state government commit about $4m to upgrade the schools facilities.

[Geoff] has a track record of getting things done and delivering on promises, Mr Lanarus said at the time.

The opportunity to provide another school in Frankston with the funding that it deserves is a commitment I couldnt pass up, Mr Shaw said.

McClelland College is such a tremendous asset to our local community, one which produces a fine quality of high school graduate.

ANGLERS are lobbying the state gov-ernment to invest in boat ramps and launching facilities around Port Phillip Bay.

VRFish, the peak body for Victo-rian recreational fishing, has released a state election wish list as the state election campaign officially begins ahead of the 29 November poll.

High on the wish list is a push for the major political parties to commit to investing $39 million over four years to upgrade boat ramps along the coast.

The groups state council developed the state election wish list over the past two years to promote the enormous public good in recreational fishing and maximise government invest-ment into key programs, projects and services.

VRFish general manager Dallas DSilva said the peak body would push for an incoming state government to use angling licence fees to be invested back into recreational fishing.

He said independent reports provid-ed to VRFish showed $70m over seven years was needed to improve fishers access to the bays.

We decided on the figure of about $40m over four years because thats the term of a government, Mr DSilva said.

VRFish has welcomed the Coali-tion governments announcement of its Better Bay Plan. Premier Denis Napthine visited Carrum to commit $65m to protect and restore Port Phil-lip Bay.

The Premier announced the govern-

ment would phase out commercial netting across Port Phillip Bay if re-elected.

Existing commercial licences will be bought back for $20m over four years.

The plan includes fishing pier up-grades in addition to a previous promise to spend $3.25m revitalising Mordialloc Pier. The Better Bay Plan includes $200,000 to be used to build an artificial reef off Mordialloc Pier.

VRFish said the Coalitions $16m Recreational Fishing Initiative had provided many lasting benefits and the previous Labor government had also made a similar level of commitment to recreational fishing.

Beach renourishment programs at Carrum beach and Aspendale beach will cost $260,000 and $600,000 re-spectively.

VRFish says user demand for boat-ing facilities, especially during the summer months, are hindering rec-reational fishing and holding back the states economy.

Boaties and recreational fishermen are regularly forced to queue at Car-rum boat ramps during peak summer periods.

Mr DSilva said VRFish had not of-ficially heard from the major political parties about the groups state election wish list.

The full wish list will be released this week, according to Mr DSilva.

GREENS candidate for Carrum Henry Kelsall has already begun work on his election pledge to have all schools in the electorate have solar panels installed to save on power bills.

Mr Kelsall, a teacher at Patterson River Secondary College, invited United Solar Energy to talk the schools decision makers about the companys Solar Saves Schools package.

United Solar Energy has teamed up with National Australia Bank to offer a no upfront costs way for schools to install solar panels.

It would have been very tough to convince schools that are already on a very tight budget to outlay funds to pay for a solar scheme, no matter what the advantages were, Mr Kelsall said.

United Solar Energy pays all initial installation costs and leases 30 kilowatt panels to schools for ten years. The panels are then bought outright by a school for a nominal $100 fee at the end of the ten-year period.

United Solar Energy business development manager Richard Vargas told The Times schools can save between up to 80 to 90 per cent of their electricity costs by switching to solar power.

Schools mainly need electricity in the daytime which is ideal for solar, he said.

NAB provides finance for the school to lease the solar panels by paying a monthly fee. Mr Vargas said the funder for the program assesses

every school that applies and solar panels will only be installed if it can be proven there will be cost savings.

Mr Vargas said schools can monitor real life savings once the panels are installed.

He said United Solar Energy is just one of 13 solar power companies nationwide approved by the Clean Energy Council for its integrity and the company had been working on its Solar Saves Schools program since July this year.

The first solar panels as part of the program would be installed at a school soon, according to Mr Vargas.

United Solar Energy, which has offices in South Melbourne and Hallam, had been in business for six years and installs solar panels in residential and commercial premises.

Solar advocate and renewable

energy lecturer John Flanders, also a representative for United Solar Energy, said schools joining this program become leaders for their community in bringing about environmental reform.

He said that every kilowatt hour produced by solar energy equates to a reduction of 1.37kg of carbon dioxide from being released into the atmosphere.

Climate change is a real and frightening prospect for future generations and carbon dioxide emissions are a major part of this. Australia with its droughts, floods and bushfires is particularly vulnerable to climate change, Mr Kelsall said.

Schools with large flat roofs and heavy power usage during daylight hours are in the perfect situation to embrace this sustainable technology.

FRANKSTON became the focal point of state politics last Thursday morning when ABC radio presenter Jon Faine broadcast his Mornings show live from the Farmers Market in Wells St.

Faine was in Frankston to inter-view the major parties candidates about their vision for the citys future as the marginal seat shapes up as a major battleground between the Liberal Party and Labor in the lead up to this months state election.

Frankston is regarded as a bell-wether seat since the party which has won the seat at state elections since its formation in 1967 has won government.

Unsurprisingly, as has been so often the case during the Coali-tions past four years in govern-ment, it was incumbent independent Frankston MP Geoff Shaw who threatened to steal the show, when he turned up midway through his rival candidates debate to speak to Faine despite having failed to respond to several attempts by ABC producers to confirm his appearance on the show beforehand.

Labor candidate for Frankston Paul Edbrooke and Liberal hopeful Sean Armistead faced a very public interrogation by the high-profile Melbourne ABC radio host in front of a street audience of Frankston residents, councillors, minor party candidates and political staffers.

Before Mr Shaws arrival, Mr Ed-

TRUE to pugnacious past form, independent Frankston MP Geoff Shaw became embroiled in more controversy last Thursday morning when ABC radio presenter Jon Faine visited the city.

While Faine spoke to Liberal candidate for Frankston Sean Armistead and Labor candidate Paul Edbrooke during his live ABC 774 broadcast from Wells St about Frankston train stations reputation as a trouble spot, Mr Shaw was arguing with a passerby at the station.

Dromana resident Lysette Ashford told The Times Mr Shaw had made a nasty comment to her when she approached the MP as he was electioneering near Frankston train station.

Ms Ashford said she had questioned

Mr Shaw on his anti-abortion views.I politely suggested since he was not a

woman with a fertile womb he really had no right to use his political position to try to change abortion laws, Ms Ashford said.

Ms Ashford said Mr Shaw had said he was against killing anything with a heartbeat.

When Ms Ashford suggested Mr Shaw should be handing out free contraception if he was so concerned about the abortion issue, she claimed Mr Shaw snapped you look like you wouldnt need contraception before turning to speak to The Age journalist Josh Gordon who was standing next to Mr Shaw.

He [Mr Shaw] said see - thats just one negative comment youve heard today to the journalist, Ms Ashford said.

Ms Ashford said Mr Shaw then turned his back on her. She said Mr Gordon did not say anything during or after the confrontation.

Mr Gordon is The Age state political editor.

Ms Ashford was in Frankston to pick up her elderly mother from the train station. Her mother also witnessed the conversation with Mr Shaw.

Later that morning, Mr Gordon sent out a photograph on Twitter of himself and Mr Shaw playing the violin and bagpipes respectively accompanied with the message: Toonz with Geoff in Frankston.

Ms Ashford appeared on the ABC 774 Morning show and told Faine about her conversation with Mr Shaw before speaking to The Times.

Ms Ashford is a former Pyrenees

Shire mayor and councillor. She said she would not have approached Mr Shaw if he had not been electioneering since I understand the difference between someones public and private life.

It was a nasty, blunt and ill-thought comment [by Mr Shaw], she said.

Mr Shaw initially declined to comment when contacted by The Times but then said he had been approached by a stupid antagonistic woman.

Frankston in spotlight

brooke and Mr Armistead had been trading barbs over their respective parties achievements, or otherwise, for Frankston while they have been in government with the refurbish-ment of Frankston train station and a cluster of pharmacies attracting drug dealers and addicts to the area a major concern.

Mr Armistead took exception to Faines description of the train sta-tion as a junkie hot spot due to the

proliferation of six Frankston phar-macies near the station which dis-pense opioid replacement therapies such as methadone to drug addicts.

The Liberal candidate said Faine should show more respect for peo-ple who struggle with drug addiction since they need help instead of being demonised.

The exchange seemed to galva-nise Faine who later accused Mr Armstead of playing bullshit bingo

when answering questions about Liberal plans to redirect Frankston line trains away from Flinders St Station to two new stations at the Domain interchange and Fishermans Bend.

Mr Shaw quickly set about his rivals upon his arrival in an empty chair Faine had set aside in the off-chance the MP would turn up, and claimed he was the only candidate who would provide a strong voice

for Frankston since he refused to toe the party line.

Labors Mr Edbrooke, a firefighter based at the Frankston CFA fire station, said he has approached Mr Shaw about firefighters pay and conditions before Mr Edbrooke became Labors state election candidate and claimed Mr Shaw shrugged his shoulders when asked what he would do to help convince the Napthine government to settle the wages dispute.

Faine noted the former Liberal MPs arrival at the debate seemed to have sucked the oxygen out of Mr Armistead who had shrunk into his chair.

Although unlikely to win the seat in his own right on 29 November, Mr Shaws preferences could deter-mine whether the Liberals or Labor claim victory in Frankston.

Mr Shaw declined to reveal who he would preference, when ques-tioned by Faine. He said running on an open ticket with no preferences is still an option.

Mr Armistead said any preferences flow between Mr Shaw and himself was a matter for Liberal Party state director Damien Mantach and Pre-mier Denis Napthine to negotiate.

Labors Mr Edbrooke said he would like to be involved in any discussion with Mr Shaw regarding preferences.

Premier Napthine and Labor op-position leader Daniel Andrews have both previously said they would not consider making deals with Mr Shaw.

PREMIER Denis Napthine dropped in to Frankston Hospital to advise $8.1 million will be invested in pro-viding extra surgical theatre capacity and a digital subtracted angiography machine.

The funding is not a new commit-ment but is being made available due to a $81m upgrade at Frankston Hospital coming in at about $8m less than originally anticipated.

This money will be reinvested into Frankston Hospital, delivering an even better asset for the com-munity and ensuring that the health services people need are delivered closer to home, Dr Napthine said.

Health Minister David Davis said the hospitals kitchen would be over-hauled as part of the reinvestment.

He said the angiography machine would benefit patients with serious blood vessel diseases.

This is a computer-assisted x-ray technique that subtracts images of bone and soft tissue to permit viewing of the cardiovascular system, Mr Davis said.

The Labor Party has repeatedly accused the Coalition government of breaking promises to provide extra beds at Frankston Hospital for patients.

Ambulance ramping times at the emergency department have also been problematic in recent months.

Late last year, Mr Davis accused paramedics of staging overcrowd-ing in the emergency department by wheeling patients into a hallway.

The ambulance union strongly denied Mr Davis allegation.

By Paul Tracker Pingiaro AH yes, the fickle guardian of our Bays has being playing havoc with fishermans plans.

Spring weather is natures closed season. However when conditions have been good anglers have getting on the fish.

Snapper: In both Port Phillip and Western Port, the Reds are firing and with the state of the ramps its a fair assumption that the whole of Victoria is gripped by the Red Fever.

In Western Port, Joes Island, Eagle Rock, Lysarghts and Cornelia are seeing some great catches. Best baits are fresh squid and flesh baits, however the humble pilchard and USA squid have also been a reliable back up. With fish biting on the change of tide as well as the run anglers are getting plenty of opportunity the get amongst the fish.

In Port Phillip, the snapper have been showing up everywhere. Hot spots have been Mornington, Mt Eliza, Seaford, Rickets Point and Carrum to name just a few.

The best bites have been on the change of tide, again while fresh baits have been best, pilchards and USA squid have been a reliable back up. Burley has been used to great effect in Port Phillip, remember a little bit often goes a long way.

Soft plastics have also accounted for a lot of snapper, with the best times being during the middle of the day, making them a good option for

the active angler looking to change things up a bit.

For those stuck land based Mornington is the pick of the area with a number of snapper landed this week to over 6kg.

Gummy sharks are also about in reasonable numbers in both bays, while most are snapper by catch those fishing near the entrances are targeting and landing some monsters up to 30kg!

Whiting are back! Tyabb bank in Western Port has been best, while the waters off Rosebud have also produced for both boat and land based anglers. A few locals at Mornington have been getting amongst the Ting, the areas of Bird Rock and Mt Eliza are the choice locations for those fishing the reef edges. Pippies, mussels and fresh squid are the best baits.

Squid continue to be good in both bays, some days they are easier than others, however those fishing the reefs and grass beds are getting amongst the inkers! In Port Phillip fish in 2-4m using a 2.0-3.0 jig and in Western Port fish 3-5m with 3.0-3.5 jigs.

The last few weeks have also seen some quality flathead landed, while the usual small rats are ever present the occasional 40cm plus model is making a welcome appearance. The bigger fish have been in shallower water less than 8m.

While the above mentioned are most peoples prime targets, baracouta, salmon, pike, leather jacket, red mullet and a whole lot more are all waiting an anglers

offerings, so pick your weather window and get out on the water!

Tight lines and calm seas.

Continued from Page 1Ms Richards said supervision by pharmacists

was inadequate.State policy now allows most addicts to take

away five doses of replacement therapy after their first month on the program. The Victorian Coroners Court has recently given this process a damning critique after investigating 63 deaths over a two-year period that was connected to ORT.

The coroner said that as a result of this process, third parties have been able to access a dangerous drug, which, in too many cases, has ended in their deaths.

In October 2013, coroner Jacinta Heffey said there were significant gaps in a system designed primarily to respond to the health risks posed to

opioid addicts. The number of deaths of third parties occasioned by the abuse of the system by the people for whom it was designed is shameful and deserves a robust re-thinking.Ms Richards said each week last year about 550 drug addicts came to the station precinct for ORT.She said there was insufficient data on the problem.This poses a major problem for politicians. The collection of statistics should form the foundation of advice being given to policymakers. Presently it cannot.Decisions are being made for the benefit of one group of people (recovering drug addicts) while the interests of other voters are being at best neglected or at worst ignored.

BELVEDERE Park Primary School is ready for its annual market night 3.30-7.30pm Friday.

From afternoon to early evening, the schools oval will be transformed into a rides/amusement area. The children will enjoy an animal farm from Elisabeth Murdoch College and a variety of stallholders will sell their wares in the hall. An interactive Bully Busters expo will be a highlight.

The emphasis is definitely on having fun, principal Brad Clark said. Market night gives the school community a cohesive focus. Its also an opportunity to showcase our school to the broader community everybody is welcome to attend.

A variety of food and beverages will be available together with activities for all the family. Grades 5 and 6 get the chance to be creative, putting their retail skills to the test and organising merchandise for sale.

The market night is a long-standing tradition

at Belvedere Park, and is its most significant fundraising activity.

Each year the activities and creative possibilities expand, convenor Suzie Richardson said. And each year market night becomes a successful fundraiser and something for everyone to enjoy before the school year draws to a close.

Mr Clark said students, teachers and parents were always enthusiastic and took great pride in celebrating the school. Four years ago a major storm threatened to disrupt market night, but even that became part of the fun and didnt spoil a memorable community event.

Local businesses are invited to participate as stallholders at affordable rates. For more information, contact Ms Richardson on 0438 741 553.

Belvedere Park Primary School is in Belvedere Rd, Seaford.

For other details call the school on 9786 3205.

Ending family violenceVIOLENCE against women will only stop when men join with women to put an end to it. Thats the message from Langwarrin Community Centre which is holding a special event on White Ribbon Day - Tuesday 25 November.

Both men and women will benefit from a world free of violence, centre manager Sam Rowley said.

What would you do if you witnessed a woman being subjected to abuse? Or if you suspected that she was?

It is time for the community to stand up together and say: No more - this is not acceptable behaviour.

The White Ribbon Day event will include presentations and speeches about the seriousness of the issue and the changes that can be implemented as a community. It will encourage the Langwarrin Community Centre members to create a social intolerance of domestic violence.

There will also be a group march from the centre to the Mens Shed and back again for lunch.

The event will start at 10.45am with morning tea and a sausage sizzle at the Langwarrin Community Centre, 2 Lang Road, Langwarrin. RSVP to 9789 7653 by 18 November or email [email protected]

AN elderly woman was taken to hospital after crashing her vehicle into a shop in an apparent parking mishap at Frankston last week.

The woman, aged in her 70s, suffered minor injuries after crashing her late model Honda sports utility vehicle through the front roller shutters and plate glass frontage of an unoccupied shop at a shopping centre on Frankston-Flinders Rd, near Towerhill Rd, about 12.30pm last Tuesday.

Police said it appeared the woman had apparently accidentally put her vehicle in forward while trying to reverse out of a parking spot in front of the shop.

An ambulance spokesperson said the woman was transported by ambulance to Frankston Hospital with minor injuries before being released later in day.

POLICE have warned of potentially life-threatening reactions to the consumption of synthetic cannabis following a raid on a Frankston tobacconist last week.

Detectives from the Frankston divisional response unit seized a quantity of what is believed to be synthetic cannabis after executing a warrant on a tobacconist at Karingal Hub on Thursday.

Plain clothes detectives searched the Free Choice tobacconist following a tip off about 1.30pm last Thursday and located packages containing plant matter thought to be synthetic cannabis.

The seized substance will be forensically tested to determine its chemical composition.

Dozens of people have been hospitalised after consuming products containing synthetic cannabinoids that are marketed and sold under a wide variety brand names of differing chemical composition.

Earlier this year, five people were admitted to intensive care units suffering symptoms including loss of consciousness, seizures, agitation, confusion and breathing difficulties after smoking a subsequently banned brand of synthetic cannabis.

Ten brands of synthetic cannabis are banned for sale and consumption in Victoria, however new versions continue to appear on the market, with suppliers altering chemical composition to circumvent laws.

Detective Sergeant Paul

Busuttil said it was vital anyone considering using synthetic cannabinoids understood that the drugs had most likely not been through rigorous testing prior to human consumption.

They have not been produced within a regulated environment and purities and quantities will not be standardised or regulated, he said.

People purchasing synthetic cannabinoids will have no way of accurately knowing what they are purchasing and consuming - most importantly, whether it is safe.

Victoria Police encourages anyone with information about the sale of synthetic cannabis to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

HUNDREDS of unemployed young people from the Frankston and Mornington Peninsula region will be placed in unpaid positions with councils and charity based organisation over coming months as the federal governments controversial Work for the Dole program swings into full operation.

Newly-appointed peninsula Work for the Dole provider Avocare is looking to forge partnerships with a range of council and community based organisations in order to identify placements for an estimated 1100 welfare recipients required to perform unpaid work for 15 hours a week as mandated by the Abbott government.

The Frankston and peninsula region was se-lected as one of 18 high-unemployment areas around Australia to spearhead a trial of Coali-tion governments revitalised Work for the Dole program, details of which were unveiled in this years federal budget.

Under the program, job seekers aged be-tween 18 and 30 who have been unemployed for twelve months or more will be required to perform around 15 hours a week of unpaid work over a six-month period to be eligible to continue to receive unemployment benefits.

The Work for the Dole scheme began being rolled out within the 18 regions identified as hav-ing unacceptably high levels of youth unem-ployment from 1 July.

The rest of the country will follow in July 2015, when weekly requirements will increase to 25 hours unpaid work a week.

Avocare last month opened its first peninsula community warehouse which will provide training and employment opportunities for 100 jobseekers, while a further 1000 positions will be made available with partner organisations such as councils, charities, and op shops.

Based at Hastings, the Avocare Community

Connect Warehouse will operate under a not-for-profit model providing a range of social services such as restoration and recycling of household furniture items for later distribution through char-ity organisations such as op shops.

The warehouse will also establish a community toy library, with donated toys to be cleaned and checked for safety before being made available for peninsula families to borrow.

Dunkley MP Bruce Billson last Monday joined a community information breakfast at Morning-ton along with representatives from Avocare, council and community-based organisation to outline details of the Work for the Dole program.

Mr Billson said Avocare was an award winning not-for-profit community organisation that would serve as the first point of contact for organisations across the Frankston and peninsula region wanted to become involved in Work for the Dole scheme.

Peninsula Work for the Dole coordinator Phoe-

be Prowd said the program was specifically tar-geting youth unemployment.

The focus of the new program is to place job seekers into real work-like situations so that they can gain work experience, Ms Prowd said.

She said that while placements could be group based, such as in the case of Hastings Community Connect Warehouse, most were on an individual ba-sis, such as working in op shops, gardening or retail.

Ms Prowd said Work for the Dole not only pro-vided a way for job seekers to contribute back to the community that supports them but also of-fered a proven pathway to long term work.

There have been some wonderful job seekers who have come through Work for the Dole previ-ously who have become an integral part of that organisation, she said.

Crucially, Work for the Dole gives job seek-ers the chance to develop a range of transferable skills such as team building, communication and

Chris [email protected]

Jobless young people get Work for Dole call-up work ethic, as well as accumulate valuable work experience.

She said Work for the Dole could also play a crucial role in building stronger communities.

At its core, its about building relationships with people, she said. This is the key to the success of the program and it is what facilitates the process of job seekers transitioning into employment.

Avocare CEO Trish Keilty said she strongly believed the activities provided through her or-ganisation helped change lives and provided a proven pathway to long-term employment.

Feedback from the community and partici-pants demonstrates that the Work for the Dole experience is a valuable and integral service that creates opportunity for participants to overcome barriers and re-engage with their community whilst developing key employability, foundation and task skills, she said.

We strongly believe that our activities have the capacity to improve disadvantaged and dis-engaged jobseekers lives by providing the op-portunity to learn, develop and build skills in a supportive and positive environment.

She said Work for the Dole placements would be offered through Avocare to peninsula not for profit organisations and agencies such as schools, charities, op shops, churches, community houses, animal shelters.

Roles include gardening, administration, hos-pitality, kitchen hand, animal handling, teachers aide, customer service and warehouse operations.

Avocare has won praise for its work in collect-ing and distributing food relief to organisations and charities who service local homeless and dis-enfranchised people.

The program, which operates in partnership with Foodbank Victoria, is expected to begin in the Frankston-peninsula region in the future.

However, at present, the Avocare Commu-nity Connect Hastings Warehouse will focus on restoring and distributing household furniture items and toys.

Leading the way: Workers at Avocares Community Connect Distribution Centre and Kitchen in Dandenong, which operates in partnership with Foodbank Victoria, not only receive on-the-job training and work experience but also help provide a vital food relief to the needy.

AUTHOR of action-packed block-busters Matthew Reilly will talk about his new thriller, The Great Zoo of China, at the Frankston Arts Centre 7pm Wednesday.

Reillys novels which read like Hollywood movies have sold more than seven million copies worldwide in 20 languages. His first, Contest written when he was 19 - was self-published in 1996 after it was rejected by every major publisher in Australia.

It was his stepping stone to success. Reilly used a bank loan to publish 1000 copies one of which was discovered in a bookstore by Pan Macmillan commissioning editor Cate Paterson.

Reilly was signed to a two-book deal. His next book, Ice Station, was quickly picked up by publishers in the US, UK and Germany.

Reillys Army of Thieves was reportedly the biggest-selling fiction title in Australia in 2011. Three more of his books have been the biggest-selling Australian titles of their years of release. They are Seven Ancient

MEDICAL treatment for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people at Frankston and Rosebud hospitals is being overhauled in an effort to improve health outcomes among the peninsulas indigenous community.

Peninsula Health chief executive Sue Williams said the organisations just-released Reconciliation Action Plan aimed to address factors that con-tributed to poor health outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people on the Mornington Peninsula.

She said plan was an important collaborative document that outlined how the entire organisation aimed to make healthcare for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples more accessible.

We know that poor health out-comes are having a detrimental effect on the local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community and the Reconciliation Action Plan is an important step forward as part of the broader National response, Ms Wil-liams said.

She said Frankston Hospital had the highest percentage of all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander hospital admissions in the southern metro-politan region, with 42 per cent of the regions admissions.

Our hospitals at Frankston and Rosebud also have the highest per-centage (56 per cent) of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander presenta-tions to an emergency department

in the region, she said. Peninsula Healths action plan was forged in partnership with the regions tradi-tional custodians who helped identify how services and programs were cul-turally appropriate and better met the needs of the indigenous community, Ms Williams said.

Boon Wurrung Foundation senior elder Carolyn Briggs said Peninsula Healths Reconciliation Action Plan linked with the shared aspirations of the traditional custodians and com-munity.

Peninsula Health understands that demonstrating respect for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples is an important part of the reconciliation process, Ms Briggs said.

Action plan: Sue Williams, Carolyn Briggs, Peninsula Health cultural ambassador Shane Wright and board director Dr Laurie Warfe.
