Today, I met with the team from CentaCare in Whyalla with local MP Eddie Hughes.

It was an opportunity to hear about some of the community and social issues faced by families.

Throughout this difficult period, my government remains fully committed to supporting the people of Whyalla.

Dr Jen Cleary & Centacare leadership met @PMalinauskasMP today to discuss Whyalla Steelworks redundancies & uncertainty. Families are struggling, skilled workers are leaving, & financial stress is rising. We thank the Premier for listening - @CentacareCCSA stands with Whyalla.

Medical appointments in Adelaide can be life saving. But they are expensive. What if you can't afford to go? Those in poverty often don't have a choice.
