The Good Start in Life team thanks each and everyone of you for your attendance, involvement and participation over the past 3 years of the project.

This year marks the project’s last year out within the local Belconnen community. And while we are saying farewell to our time in the community as we end this year, our team will still be busy putting together and writing up all that’s been learnt and found throughout the project in 2024. So, do watch this space. We will endeavour to keep you all posted here as much as possible on the project’s progress throughout next year.

Thank you all again for all your support of our project this year and in years past.

Wishing you all a safe, restful and festive holiday break and all the best wishes for a happy and healthy 2024.
