14.01.2022 https://epetitions.act.gov.au/CurrentEPetition.aspx Hi Friends We really need to keep the TCH hydrotherapy pool open! Hydrotherapy is a scientifically proven method of controlling chronic pain. If the TCH pool is closed there will be inadequate facilities in Canberra's south to meet the needs of the current pool user community let alone anyone else who might need it in the future. There are simply not enough hydrotherapy pools in Canberra as it is now to meet the community's demand. Please sign the attached e-petition so we can show just how important it is!
