I rise to commend the phenomenal volunteers at the Woy Woy Hospital Auxiliary, who do so much good work to ensure Woy Woy Hospital can continue to provide outstanding patient care.

Recently, I visited the Woy Woy Hospital kiosk, which is run and managed by the Woy Woy Hospital Auxiliary members and volunteers. This kiosk has only just reopened following 18 months of closure during the COVID 19 pandemic and then renovations to the premises. I am pleased to inform the House that the kiosk is open and ready to serve the community on the peninsula and across the Central Coast. The cafe has an exceptional menu with exquisite beverage options. It's open Tuesday to Friday 10 am till 2 pm, with all funds raised at the kiosk going back into patient care and to purchase much-needed medical equipment.

I would like to thank the Woy Woy Hospital Auxiliary president, Phyllis Thomas, for her leadership over the past 11 years, and the following brilliant members: Eileen Crawford, Lucy Sharpe, Mary Mathews, Val Knox, Tracey Peterson, Lynda Thomas, Debbie Gause, Lynda Howell, Cecilia O'Meara, Pat Elliot, Wendy Goswell, Janet Goldsworthy, Lorraine Krause, Catherine Sutton, Kay Kennaugh, Lin Griffiths, Coral Pawelko, Rikki McIntosh and Jenny Dos Santos. They are all amazing volunteers on the Central Coast and on the peninsula, and I thank them for the work that they do.
