New Trade Training Centre for Christies Beach!

$1.5m Trade Training Centre to be constructed at Christies Beach High School

Amanda is committed to ensuring that local students in Southern Adelaide can get the skills they need to succeed in tomorrow’s workforce and that local businesses have access to the skilled workforce they will need to stay competitive into the future. That is why Amanda has welcomed the news that the Gillard Labor Government will deliver $1.5m for a Trade Training Centre to be constructed at Christies Beach High School. Christies Beach High School will join 5 other local schools that are already benefiting from this initiative here in the South.

Delivering on Health Care in the South

Six Primary Care Infrastructure Grants and four GP After-hours Grants awarded to local medical practices

After-hours support for local GP services will also receive a boost with $100, 000 to be delivered to four local Gp clinics.
