NDCH’s Drag Queen Bingo nights were once again a huge success over the weekend, with more than 200 locals coming together across two nights to support our LGBTIQA+SB community 💛

Drag Queen extraordinaire Della Katessen brought plenty of laughs with their unique mix of bingo and music trivia, entertaining crowds in Boort and Cohuna.

“We want our LGBTIQA+SB friends to know they are heard, respected and valued,” said NDCH CEO Penny Wilkinson.

NDCH will wrap up the celebrations with a Comedy Night in Kerang at the Glasshouse on May 15.

These events have been made possible through the Pride Events and Festivals Fund.

The NDCH Health Promotion team has been out and about in Koondrook and Cohuna this week, dropping off Easter cards to local businesses.

While visiting, they’ve been encouraging shops to display No Smoking and No Va**ng signage to help create healthier spaces for staff, customers and the wider community.

They also took the opportunity to share the news about something fabulous coming to town… Drag Bingo! ✨

After last year’s sold-out show in Cohuna, Drag Bingo is back with a brand-new host and a fresh lineup. Expect big laughs, plenty of crowd interaction, and a night of fabulous entertainment.

NDCH has teamed up with Boort District Health to provide the Support for Carers Program, helping carers access practical support, advice and respite options.

If you’re caring for a family member or loved one and could use some extra support, Georgia will be available in Boort to chat, answer questions and help connect you with services that can make a difference.

Caring for someone can be rewarding, but it can also be challenging — and you don’t have to do it alone.

See the details below to book a time and learn more.
