HealthWISE

HealthWISE HealthWISE supports community health at all stages, from child speech pathology to healthy ageing.

We provide primary and allied health services where there are shortages or gaps and provide mental health services across the regions. Our staff also assist in coordinating specialist services where there are none or a specific need. We are also continually developing and providing Aboriginal health programs and services. We strive to change the mindset concerning health by improving access to opp

ortunities to become healthy for those in our service area. We recognise the social determinants of health and the unique characteristics of our region. We believe every person can make choices that result in a healthier self – our purpose is to make those choices easier.

National Reconciliation Week is a time for all Australians to learn about our shared histories, cultures and achievements, and explore how we can all play a role in reconciliation.

This year’s theme, All In, is a call for all Australians to commit wholeheartedly to reconciliation every single day. Reconciliation isn’t just about one week of the year, it’s everybody’s business, every day.

Let’s reflect. Let’s learn. Let’s act.
HealthWISE is committed to walking alongside Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, continuing to build respectful relationships and healthier communities – now and into the future.

The theme for this year’s National Sorry Day is From Sorry to Action. The call is clear, we must move from words to action, and this needs to happen now, not in another decade.

Acknowledging past harm is important, but acting to address it is critical. Sorry signals compassion, action delivers justice.

At HealthWISE, we are committed to continuing our work towards closing the gap through our health programs, recognising that healing and health go hand in hand.

We encourage you to mark National Sorry Day on 26 May, and to stand with us to ensure this day is part of an ongoing commitment to truth-telling and healing.

It was such a privilege to have Dr Louis McGuigan at our Narrabri office last week, where he talked on How to Enjoy Back Pain.

Most of Narrabri and Wee Waa’s GPs were in the audience, along with local allied health professionals. All were eager to learn from Dr McGuigan’s 50 years of experience.

Dr McGuigan has a strong connection with Narrabri and has been visiting this community since 2014. He appreciates our support in providing a welcoming environment for patients at HealthWISE Narrabri.

We’re looking forward to another education event in September.
We’d like to thank the Rural Doctor’s Network for their continued support of the Rural Health Outreach Fund (RHOF).
