But, throughout all this adversity, Greenway hasn’t thrown in the towel; not when our LGAs became hotspots, not when we were told we couldn’t have a mass vaccination hub, and not now.

The small businesses of Western Sydney have made enormous sacrifices to keep our community safe and for that, we are so grateful.” clinic, our multi-faith community groups have been instrumental in achieving Greenway’s high vaccination rates. The small businesses of Western Sydney have made enormous sacrifices to keep our community safe and for that, we are so grateful. Greenway knows that vaccinations are our best shot at a normal life. That’s why I know that, if we put our minds to it, we can get our second-doses up to those high rates too. Together, we can continue to lead NSW out of lockdown.
