I rise today to congratulate 23 wonderful employees of Carrington Centennial Care, a remarkable aged-care facility in my electorate of Macarthur, who have served Carrington and the local community over a significant period of time. Their long service to Carrington is a great testament to the loyalty and professionalism of the staff and their dedication to the residents in their care in this high-quality, loving and caring environment.

I congratulate Cathy Bank, Michelle Boyd, Simon Crowley, Naomi Delaney, John Dockerty, Linda Edwards, Cheryl Heaton, Lina Lefoe, Mark Lefoe, Natalie McMahon, Brenda Mullins-Jackson, Michelle Nolan, Katherine Perkins, Danielle Rauchle, Suman Singh and Angeles Walsh for 10 years service. I also congratulate Veronica Holmes, Janet Iler and Leanne McIntyre for 15 years of service; Mary Ellen Davis, Rosanna Green and Michelle Hanratty for 20 years service; and Thomas Lo for 30 remarkable years at Carrington Centennial Care.

On behalf of Camden and the people of Macarthur, I thank you for your care and compassion for Carrington's residents over the years. Your outstanding work has given countless families in Macarthur the peace of mind of knowing that their loved ones will be extremely well cared for in a peaceful and loving environment.

I would like to take this opportunity to compliment the board and management team at Carrington on their clear vision in getting Carrington to where it is today and ensuring that it continues to be one of the best aged-care facilities in the country for years to come. As we all head towards our golden years, I could not think of a more wonderful group of people to look after me in the future.
