Today is Harmony Day. 🧡

Harmony Day celebrates cultural diversity and promotes inclusiveness, respect, and a sense of belonging for everyone.

The Tackling Indigenous Smoking Team came together to celebrate Harmony Day together with Bowden Brompton Community School, embracing the incredible diversity that makes our community so special.

It was a wonderful event filled with vibrant cultures, shared stories, and the spirit of inclusion.

We also took the opportunity to promote awareness around the dangers of smoking and va**ng. It's crucial that we raise awareness to protect our health and build a stronger, healthier future for everyone.

Thank you to everyone who attended and contributed to making this day meaningful. Whether through food, dance, art, or conversation, we united in our shared vision for a peaceful, accepting world where everyone belongs. Let’s continue to celebrate and honour the richness of our diverse backgrounds every day and stay mindful of our health.

The Tackling Indigenous Smoking team were proud to attend the Royal Adelaide Hospital’s National Close the Gap Day event yesterday.

We were there to discuss the important issues of smoking and va**ng and how they impact our Indigenous communities.

It was an honour to join the conversation and continue working towards better health outcomes for our Indigenous communities.

Let’s keep pushing for equity and support.

Today marks National Close the Gap Day, a crucial reminder of the ongoing need for health equity for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. We are dedicated to playing our part in 'closing the gap' and our new location at Paralowie will play an important role in this.

To celebrate the opening of this new site, we would like invite all community to the Paralowie Clinic Open Day on Monday 24 March from 11:00 am to 2:00 pm at 220-224 Waterloo Corner Road. We will have a BBQ sausage sizzle, coffee van, potato van (serving delicious tornado potatoes), petting zoo, and a face painter, making it a fun day for all.

Please be advised that the clinic car park will be closed for the event, and on-street parking is limited. We encourage you to plan your journey in advance.
