Our local MP Geoff Provest has been very supportive of our cause but needs help to take our message to the state parliament. By emailing Geoff we show the community is behind Shaping Outcomes and wants to see compensation provided to ensure we can replace the facilities the community have built for us at the old Tweed Hospital site.

Dear Minister Park,
I am a resident of Northern NSW and I am appalled at how your Government and NSW Health is treating Shaping Outcomes.
Shaping Outcomes provides crucial early-childhood intervention services for our community, having helped thousands of children with a disability or developmental delay over the past 43 years. Our community has poured hundreds of thousands of dollars into their facility at the old Tweed Hospital, mainly through hard-earned fundraising, generous donations and support of our parents, local businesses, local clubs and philanthropists. That facility is as much owned by our community as it is by Shaping Outcomes.
That’s why I am disgusted that your Government and NSW Health is throwing Shaping Outcomes out on the street with nowhere else to go. Even more so, NSW Health has given Shaping Outcomes multiple promises that if they did have to leave their current facility, the Government would compensate them so Shaping Outcomes could find a new home in our community.
However, the actions of your Government and NSW Health make it obvious to me and other locals that the promises you have made to our community mean nothing. If Shaping Outcomes cannot find a new location they will be forced to cut back services, affecting hundreds of children. This will leave our community all the poorer.
Minister, all I am asking is that you do your job and tell NSW Health to honour the commitment they made to Shaping Outcomes and our community. Compensate Shaping Outcomes so they can find a new home in the Tweed.
Yours faithfully,
Dear Minister Provest,
I am writing as a concerned local about the current eviction issue of Shaping Outcomes by the Tweed Hospital.
This service provides a critical service to our community and has been supported by local families, businesses and clubs for 40 years
What is happening to them is wrong on many levels and we need your support to address this issue.
At the very least the hospital needs to provide compensation to our community organisation.
With Thanks,
