CHRISTMAS has come early for Gorrinn House Hostel with the Federal Government confirming a major grant to upgrade facilities.
Labor Senator Raff Ciccone said Gorrinn House Hostel was one of two aged care facilities in the Wannon electorate to receive a combined $1.8 million funding.
The vast majority of funding, $1.4 million has been allocated to Gorrinn House Hostel for equipment purchases and refurbishment of established rooms to complement a self-funded $7 million, 15-bed extension of the facility due to open next year.
“This funding is great news for Gorrinn House. The projects will support locals to access quality aged care services while remaining close to their families and cultural connections,” Senator Ciccone said.
