A special visit before Christmas 

Their visit came at a time when demand was particularly high. In the lead-up to the festive season, hundreds of families rely on us to help put food on the table. With the shop buzzing as customers completed their last-minute Christmas shopping, the Governor saw firsthand the impact of the work our teams deliver every day.

The Governor and Mrs Dawson also arrived with a generous donation made possible by visitors to Government House — 316kg of essential food and supplies, providing the equivalent of 569 meals for people experiencing food insecurity.

This contribution made a real difference during a crucial time of year. We extend our sincere thanks to the Governor for his continued advocacy and support, helping more families enjoy the festive season with dignity, care and hope.
