Improving Coochie health services
Coochiemudlo Island Health Hub is working to improve access to health services for island residents and visitors.
Our backbone strategy is to secure a space suitable for a GP to consult from, and attract a doctor on a weekly basis. This would then also make it possible for a variety of other health professionals to visit regularly.
Along the way we have set up two community accessible AEDs, identified a number of services who can already visit the island, and are bringing the RFDS telehealth service to the island soon.
Consider supporting us financially by buying tickets in our fabulous Easter Raffle, and supporting our lobbying efforts by joining or renewing as a member.
