The Member for Whitsunday – who is also the Minister for Families, Seniors, Child Safety and the Prevention Of Domestic & Family Violence – was invited to the South Burnett by local MP, Attorney-General Deb Frecklington.
The morning tea celebrated “International Day Of People With A Disability” as well as kicking off Endeavour’s 75th birthday celebrations.
Kingaroy Kitchen was one of 36 Endeavour Foundation sites across Australia which were celebrating on Wednesday.
A short video celebrating inclusion was shown to the invited guests, who enjoyed morning team prepared by the Kingaroy Kitchen team, some of whom have been working at the site for more than 25 years.
A special guest was Endeavour Foundation CEO Andrew Chesterman who has been with the organisation for just six weeks.
He said Endeavour supported 6500 people with a disability across Australia, and was the largest employer of people with an intellectual disability.
