On Wednesday, 17 November I was given the honour of opening the new Belair Medical Centre in my electorate of Boothby. I was pleased to be joined at this new allied health facility, complete with specialist rooms, by my state parliamentary colleague, Mr Sam Duluk MP, member for Davenport, and the Mayor of the City of Mitcham, His Worship Mr Glenn Spear. This impressive new facility will serve the growing community throughout the Mitcham Hills. I am proud to be part of the coalition government that continues to deliver funding to projects such as this one, which was spearheaded by practice owner Dr Helen Roxburgh.

The new allied health space, located at 20 Main Road, Belair, offers specific services to youth, women and the elderly and provides a suite of services, including psychologists, physiotherapists, a urologist, a gastroenterologist, a lactation consultant and an occupational therapist. Patient care is at the centre of the Belair medical practice, and I cannot think of a nicer space for patients to visit. The rooms have been beautifully designed and decorated, including a number of John Olsen prints and original artworks by Dr Roxburgh's husband Phil. It is lovely to see Australian art celebrated in such a manner. Again, I congratulate Dr Helen Roxburgh and the team at the Belair Medical Centre on the opening of their new facilities that will serve our community well into the future.
