Posted by Lizz Reay, CEO
We have commenced the third week of the COVID-19 vaccine roll-out as part of Phase 1b of the Federal Government’s Vaccination Roll-out Strategy. Given the first week coincided with severe flooding across our region making some areas impossible to access, I am particularly proud to see the progress that is being made.

We're In This Together

Posted by Lizz Reay, CEO
This week is National Reconciliation Week. At Wentworth Healthcare we recognise that “Reconciliation” is not just a word - it is a process that requires change and positive action. It is a journey for all Australians - as individuals, families, communities, organisations and importantly as a nation. At the heart of this journey are relationships between the broader Australian community and Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander peoples.
