My partner and I bought a house here in Birkenhead seven years ago because of the great community here – there’s nowhere we’d rather live. Through that time, I’ve been involved with, and have listened to the community. I understand our community's local concerns and aspirations. I have the energy and drive to represent us in Parliament.

Did you know there's 'no risk' to humans from third hand exposure to houses where methamphetamine has been consumed? A Government report found mould was a much larger health risk to tenants than meth residue. Would you live in a house where meth had been smoked? To … View more

With cooler weather embracing the country, you may find you’re not getting out and about as much. So now is the ideal time to make sure your home is as fall-proof as possible.

The home safety checklist will give you practical tips on how to make your home safe. It covers how to avoid slips and falls in the home’s most used areas. For example, paths can get icy in winter, applying salt or sand to your path can help avoid any icy slips.

Having a fall can be upsetting. Those over 65 have a one in three chance of having a fall, while those over 80 it’s one in two.

The good news is falls are preventable. A new movement called Live Stronger for Longer is helping to reduce the risk of falls by providing practical information and free resources. We want to help you stay on your feet, and living the life you want to live.

Take the home safety checklist with your friends and family and join the movement today.

Proudly brought to you by ACC, HQ&SC, MOH and your local community health providers.
