Rotary Clubs of Maitland Golf Day

Ms JENNY AITCHISON (Maitland—Minister for Roads, and Minister for Regional Transport)—I commend the Rotary Clubs of Maitland for their outstanding collaboration in hosting the Annual Golf Day on Sunday, 23 March 2025, at Easts Leisure & Golf Club. This event exemplifies the spirit of community and dedication that defines our region. This year's Golf Day focused on raising funds for the Maitland HealthStays Accommodation Project, a vital initiative aimed at providing economical, safe, and accessible lodging for outpatients and caregivers at the new Maitland Hospital. This facility will offer a comforting space, similar to the Ronald McDonald House concept in Newcastle, ensuring families can stay close to their loved ones during treatment. The success of this event is a testament to the collective efforts of five Rotary clubs—Maitland, East Maitland, Rutherford Telarah, Greenhills Maitland, and Maitland Sunrise—along with Maitland Rotaract. Their dedication and hard work have significantly contributed to the advancement of the HealthStays project, which addresses the critical need for accessible healthcare accommodation in our region. I extend my heartfelt congratulations to all participants, sponsors, and volunteers who made this day possible.
