Janelle Saffin MP

Thank you for visiting my website. I hope you will find some useful information about what’s happening in the Page electorate, local media releases and my parliamentary speeches as well as links to the latest news from Canberra.

While Federal Parliament meets in Canberra for around 20 weeks a year, I believe it is important to be active in the local community, to know what is going on and to find out what’s important to the people of Page. I hope to see you when I’m out and about at events around the electorate, and when I have my mobile office at local markets.

I am here to provide assistance to you and your family, as constituents of the Page electorate, with any problems you may be having with Government services such as Centrelink, Immigration or Medicare. If you think I can assist you with any matter or want to pass on your views please contact my Lismore Electorate office on 66219909 or my Grafton office on 66428507 or email me at janelle.saffin.mp@aph.gov.au .
