A re-elected McGowan Labor Government will deliver $16,000 to provide updated administrative and office equipment at Grandparents Rearing Grandchildren WA’s new centre in Warwick.

Grandparents Rearing Grandchildren WA (GRGWA) supports a large number of grandparents in the community who are raising their grandchildren on a full time basis.

Having recently secured a permanent base, GRGWA requires equipment to fit out the office so it can assist grandparents with the provision of a safe and stable environment for their grandchildren.

The funding will provide computers, printing and phone equipment. 

As a not-for-profit organisation GRGWA relies on donations, so this funding is vital to its efficient operation.

Comments by Emily Hamilton MLA, Member for Joondalup:

“As family is so important to me, I fully support Grandparents Rearing Grandchildren WA helping grandparents actively provide grandchildren with support and to enable positive outcomes for the future.”   

Comments by Jessica Stojkovski MLA, Member for Kingsley:

“Grandcarers are heroes in our community, caring for children in often challenging circumstances. 

“The new GRGWA base in Warwick has quickly become a safe, comfortable place where grandparents can have a cuppa and share their experiences while their grandchildren play. 

The volunteer team does a great job, so I’m delighted that a re-elected McGowan Labor Government will support them.”
