25.01.2022 Registrations are now open for Stroke Week 31 August - 6 September: https://bit.ly/StrokeWeek2020 This year we’re celebrating F.A.S.T. Heroes, those people who... knew the signs and saved a life. Across Australia, F.A.S.T. Heroes save lives every day, by simply knowing and recognising the signs of stroke and calling an ambulance immediately. They know that stroke is always a medical emergency and time is critical. This National Stroke Week we are calling for more F.A.S.T. Heroes to potentially save the life of a loved one, a colleague, a stranger or even themselves. Become a F.A.S.T. Hero by learning and sharing the F.A.S.T. message and calling triple 000 straight away if you suspect a stroke. You can get involved and raise awareness in your own way. In 2020, this might mean making your event or activity virtual. Sign up and receive a free Stroke Week kit (and a virtual kit) to support your activity including a range of hard copy and digital resources. Register for a free pack today: https://bit.ly/StrokeWeek2020

25.01.2022 Spent the day yesterday restocking my vintage wares stall at Dargo General Store Can’t believe I haven’t been up there since March. It’s beautiful and green, a...nd the river is flowing crystal clear. Pete at the Dargo General Store tells me there have been plenty of fish caught, and Kerry has the store looking absolutely amazing. They’ve got all your basic grocery requirements, and heaps of fabulous giftware, plus all your camping, fishing and car needs. Between bushfires, landslides and the pandemic Dargo has been isolated for most of the year, but they’re open for business now and I know they’d appreciate your support. Whether you love spending a weekend camping, fishing, panning for gold, four wheel driving or trail biking or just want to take a leisurely Sunday drive with lunch at the pub or by the river Dargo is ideal.

25.01.2022 Our podiatry clinic will run on Thursday 9th July and not tomorrow (25th June) as advertised in the latest Bush Bulletin Sorry for any inconvenience!

24.01.2022 Changes to Covid-19 restrictions began at midnight last night. Here is a quick snapshot of what is permitted in Victoria. (Thanks to West Wimmera Advocate fo...r infographic) Please remember to maintain hand hygiene, social distance (if applicable) and get tested if you have even the slightest symptoms.

24.01.2022 The Dargo Bush Nursing Centre would like to welcome Megan Lee as our newest employee! We are thrilled Megan has decided to join our nursing team in a casual capacity and believe she will be a great asset when continuing to provide quality health care to all who utilise the BNC

24.01.2022 We had a great day refreshing our CPR skills and using the AED Defib machine yesterday @ the General Store. Thanks to those who came along! We managed to practice strict COVID-19 social distancing restrictions whilst training - a new "normal" process. We realised that training small groups can be achieved whilst maintaining the 1.5 m distancing, wearing gloves, masks and sanitising our hands frequently. Thanks to the Dargo Store for allowing us to hold our training there

24.01.2022 Thanks so much to RWAV (Rural Workforce Agency Victoria) for the grant Sarah was able to secure to complete her RIPERN course! RWAV is proud to have supported over 600 rural health professionals to access grants for their career development in the last financial year. This means that over 100 regional, rural and remote towns in Victoria will benefit from the continued training and upskilling undertaken by our grant recipients.
