Community Vision is a not-for-profit community service organisation that provides in-home community support to seniors, people with disabilities, children, families, and migrants from culturally diverse and linguistically diverse backgrounds. They have over 1,000 clients, and provide over 78,000 service hours annually, within my electorate of Moore. Community Vision operates its head office in leased premises within the City of Joondalup's administration building, where I recently had the privilege of presenting a cheque for $101,553 on behalf of the government to the CEO Jenni Werne and other dedicated members of staff.

The Home and Community Care funding will be used to provide domestic assistance, a new bus, and equipment for centre based day care. The Commonwealth government funds Community Vision through programs such as Home and Community Care, Commonwealth Aged Care Packages, and through the former Department of Families, Housing, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs. The City of Joondalup has an aging demographic, with 10.8 per cent of residents aged over 65. Continued support by the federal government is vital to ensure that the organisation expands to meet the increased demand for aged care services and facilities in my community.
