This is open to everybody in the area and will including a smoking ceremony, a welcome to country and dancing.

An appointment missed by you…. is an appointment missed by Two!
Last month we had over 50 non-attended appointments!
By not showing up for your appointment, not only are you missing out on getting medical attention, but another sick person is possibly unable to be seen.
Help us… Help you!
Non-attendance of a standard appointment will result in a $50 fee.
