How the office can help

Josh's electorate office is here for you. Whether you're stuck with a state government agency, need to mark a milestone, or want to raise a local concern — start here. Every enquiry gets a reply.

Common requests

What the office handles every day

State government agencies

Stuck with VicRoads, Housing Victoria, the Department of Transport, WorkSafe, the TAC, Centrelink escalations, or any other state-level department? Josh's office can often cut through the red tape and get you to the right person.

Congratulatory messages

Significant birthdays (50th, 60th, 70th, 80th, 90th, 100th), wedding anniversaries (25, 40, 50, 60, 70 years), citizenship, and community milestones. Josh can arrange a personal letter, and for major milestones, a message from the Premier or even The King.

Local issues and concerns

Potholes on a state road, school funding, public transport, planning, waste and recycling, parks and open space — if it's a state-government matter affecting Sunbury, Josh wants to hear it.

Community groups & grants

Josh's office supports hundreds of community groups across the electorate. We can help you identify state grants you're eligible for, write a stronger application, and connect with relevant departments.

School and community visits

Invite Josh to your school, kinder, sporting club, CFA, RSL, Men's Shed, community market or cultural festival. Student tours of Parliament House can also be arranged.

Parliamentary petitions

If you're organising a petition on a state-government issue, Josh's office can help you word it correctly so it meets the standing orders of the Legislative Assembly — then lodge it on your behalf.

How it works

What to expect when you get in touch

Step by step

  1. You reach out — phone, email, post, or drop in at the office.
  2. We acknowledge within 2 business days. If your issue is urgent, let us know and we'll call you back the same day.
  3. We research. That might mean talking to the relevant department, minister's office, or community organisation.
  4. We respond with options. Sometimes that means a letter from Josh; sometimes it's a referral; sometimes it's direct advocacy.
  5. We stay with it until you have a clear outcome, or until we've exhausted what the office can do.

What to send us

  • Your full name, address, phone and email.
  • A clear description of the issue — what's happened, when, and who you've already spoken to.
  • Any reference numbers, case numbers or letters you've received from the agency.
  • What outcome you're hoping for.
  • Any deadline or urgency we should know about.

Every enquiry is treated in confidence. Josh's office follows the Victorian privacy principles — see the privacy statement.
