Quotes attributable to the Member for Werriwa, Ms Anne Stanley MP:
"With almost 300,000 unclaimed benefits in NSW alone, many in our community could be missing out on money that they are owed."
"I encourage members of our community to check that their bank details are up-to-date with Medicare and the easiest way to do this is through the myGov website or app."
