On behalf of the community of Moore, I take this opportunity to express our collective appreciation to all of the frontline healthcare workers and medical professionals involved in the vaccination rollout, COVID testing and delivery of health services as we navigate this pandemic together. In particular, I recognise the work of the staff of the testing clinic located at Joondalup hospital, who have conducted thousands of screening tests to keep our community safe. I also commend the staff at the immunisation centres based at Lakeside shopping centre, local GP clinics and medical centres, who are efficiently administering vaccines to thousands of local residents. We recognise that your work can at times be challenging as you interact with anxious and frustrated members of the public in a stressful environment with often long queues. Today in parliament I formally recognise your service, commitment to duty and professionalism. I'm very honoured to represent a diverse community made up of civic minded people who are overwhelmingly willing to do the right thing by their fellow Australians and ensure that we will get through this pandemic together.
