For a number of months many constituents have spoken with me about the need for more seniors programs in Liverpool, especially those that cater for our diverse multicultural and multilingual community. Those programs help people connect with others, maintain skills and interests, and can help give people a sense of purpose and meaning to their time, especially when family members may have other commitments. So it was a real delight to represent Minister Kamper at the grand opening of the Liverpool Multicultural Social Hub at the Hilda M Davis Senior Citizens Centre. The hub is an expansion of the support that the AASHA Australia Foundation provides to culturally and linguistically diverse communities, particularly our seniors. It incorporates AASHA's core values of compassion, care, collaboration, culture, trust and inclusion. It now has nine such hubs across Sydney and provides a much broader range of services, including a multicultural seniors concert in Parliament. I congratulate Percy Vij and Bijinder Dugal for organising a successful launch. Their commitment to our local community is appreciated.
