20.01.2022 The Oasis Townsville can direct you to the right GPs and we strongly support this Operation COMPASS project being undertaken by Northern Australia Primary Health Limited. A good GP will do better for us if they know you are a veteran or have a veteran in the family.

18.01.2022 Off early again via the hardware shop and bakery for coffee yesterday. Out to Corella Station. Finished all internal walls, hung three doors, built in bedroom. Lots of fibro cutting.

18.01.2022 Great to have our ADF veteran, local, Federal MP on site yesterday. Thanks for the visit Phillip. We really appreciate your strong support. Oasis is seeking from Queensland Government and Woollam to have the Dirty Boots cafe open by mid-December so we can sell coffee and set up a desk to help current serving and ex-ADF and their families find the services they need in Townsville to connect and integrate. This is an important task at the start of every posting cycle.

09.01.2022 We recently met with the Australian Army Indigenous Elder Aunty Lorraine Hatton, OAM. We had some great conversation about what The Oasis is doing and how we might be able to engage with indigenous youth.

09.01.2022 Well both teams were up early. The Corella crew headed out early via the bakery for our morning coffee. Then out to continue sheeting and hanging doors and it’s starting to look fabulous. Tanks and Toni love it, that makes it all worth while. We spent time with their 11 dogs, we had lovely morning tea and lunch delivered thanks Dee. The Goolma crew mustered another mob of sheep, drafted more lambs and ewes and said their goodbyes to Goolma to join the Corella team. Off to the Tatts pub for dinner with the Corella station owners. Great day had by all and lovely to have the whole Oasis team together again for the night.

03.01.2022 This morning marked a significant milestone in the delivery of The Oasis Townsville project. I proudly joined directors of the the Oasis Townsville as we unvei...led the name of the new road being constructed at the site - Staging Camp Avenue. The name of the road reflects the significance of this location in Townsville’s military history and the previous usage of the site by our armed forces, dating back to WW1. The naming of Staging Camp Avenue and the completion of the early works on the site form part of the Palaszczuk Government’s $4.3 million funding commitment, which I proudly fought to secure for our local community, veterans and their families.
