Goomalling health services
The Wheatbelt Health Planning Initiative is investigating health needs in Goomalling (and other wheatbelt areas) so they can plan health services for the future. They are running meetings so that you can have your say.
- What health services do you use in Goomalling?
- What health services do you think we will need in the future?
- What health services would you hate to live without?
Have your say at one of the Community Consultation Meetings: 7pm-8:30pm, Tue 2 June or 10:30am-12noon, Wed 3 June at CY O’Connor TAFE Globalink Function Room, Lot 1 Hutt St, Northam.
Need a lift?
A bus will be going to the Wednesday meeting, leaving the Goomalling Sports Pavilion at 9:30 am and returning by 1pm. Please let Loretta or Anastasia at the Telecentre (9629 1570 or goomatc@westnet.com.au) know if you’d like a ride.
