I move:

That the Senate recognises that:

(a) today marks the 80th anniversary of the opening of the former Repatriation Commission Outpatient Clinic at 310 St Kilda Rd, Southbank, Victoria;

(b) during its operation, more than 1,000 veterans visited the Repatriation Clinic every week;

(c) the Repatriation Clinic played a key role in returning veterans to civilian life; and

(d) there is an ongoing need to provide support to veterans, including through the Arts; as Weary Dunlop who worked with returned soldiers in that building once said: "give the troops access to the Arts so that they may have an interest in life".

Question agreed to.
