22.01.2022 Now a nine-hour drive from Manly to Bourke, in the 1920s and ‘30s it seemed a lifetime away, yet it played a pivotal role in our organisation. By 1931 the first... of our four innovative Travelling Baby Clinics serviced communities along the Bourke, Cobar and Brewarrina railway lines. Seeing the need for air services, Bourke resident Sid Coleman bought an aeroplane, and he and pilot Mr Robinson provided free air transport for medical staff and patients in isolated areas. By 1935 the Aerial Baby Clinic was in its fourth year of service, helping hundreds of children, including 239 babies from the Back o’ Bourke. Mr Coleman served as Bourke’s Mayor and also as our Superintendent for a number of years. During the 1930s, Bourke’s Branch members provided board and lodgings for our Nurses who were stationed in the area. Our Bourke Branch is still proudly in operation, and we thank everyone, past and present, for their wonderful contributions. Here's a photo of (L-R) Sid Coleman, Nancy-Bird Walton, AO, OBE, & Dr Walter John Wearn OBE. Today we still proudly supporting kids and families in the Bourke region. The conditions we now treat may have changed, however the need to provide services remains. We run our Telecare for Kids programs into local schools and preschools, and build local capacity by offering professional training. Thanks to our friends at the CAGES Foundation, and invited by Maranguka as an initiative from Maranguka Early Childhood Working Group, over the last four years our Healthy Kids Bus Stop program has regularly called into town, working with Bourke and District Children’s Services and other local organisations to provide developmental screenings for each young child to identify potential barriers to their development. We’re also proud of being a part of the Maranguka Initiative and the Maranguka Early Childhood Working Group. Thank you Bourke for being our friends throughout the decades.

07.01.2022 Last year, we piloted My Life Story, a program, which connected country kids from Bourke, Walgett and Brewarrina with students at Manly Village Public School by... enabling them to write, publish and exchange with each other their very own stories, all in partnership with educational writing platform, LittleScribe. This year, it’s back and bigger than ever and we’re encouraging primary schools from right across NSW to get involved. Designed to unite and connect the program endeavours to promote positive self-image, give kids a voice and build understanding between students from the city and those in country. If you’d like your child’s school to get involved, please encourage them to take part and register their interest to https://www.littlescribe.com/my-life-story/ and find out more.
