Visiting a newly-opened community service provider in Camden, Creating Links, Federal Member for Hume Angus Taylor congratulated manager Matthew Richards on setting up locally.
“The rate of new business growth around Camden, Mount Annan and Narellan is a clear indication of the confidence in the local economy,” Mr Taylor said.
“With construction booming and major infrastructure investment locked in across the north of Hume, there will be strong flow-through to the services sector. It’s what we want to see.”
Matthew Richards said population growth in the Camden region would bring more new businesses to town.
“The expansion of the universities into the region and the Western Sydney airport is a major boost for Camden and Western Sydney’s economy. As a result of that, Creating Links decided to bring our services into the region – which include NDIS, Child & Family services, Aged Care and Youth services and Out of Home Care.
Creating Links employs 140 staff across three locations at Bankstown, Faulconbridge and Camden and is currently advertising for casual NDIS and Aged Care staff.
