25.01.2022 Its been another big but rewarding week in the Goldfields region. This week we started to provide these great packs as part of our safe bathroom audits and also within the environmental health clinical referral program. Its really wonderful to be able to provide a personal towel (thanks Rotary), towel hook, soap, Sukin products and a hand and face washing sticker to householders at the same time as fixing minor plumbing issues. The AEHWs are so important to this work so we want to do a shout out to them! Also heartfelt thanks to the Goldfields PHU for donating these bags (we need more if anyone has spares lying around). A great week with great outcomes.

24.01.2022 Were out and about again!! Weve been busy following up on our Midwest projects carried out in August this year. Great results with minimal plumbing fixtures needing to be addressed. Plenty of soap, mirrors and towel hooks being provided to the community. We even had time to help out fixing other parts of the homes for the tenants as well. Plus some sight seeing after a hard days work.

24.01.2022 Planning is underway in Kalgoorlie to develop an environmental health referral system for the Goldfields.

24.01.2022 A great week working alongside the Aboriginal Environmental Health professionals and Housing Officers in a couple of Midwest communities. Lots of plumbing & safety issues identified and fixed!

23.01.2022 Its been a year since we piloted our community reciprocity project in Tjuntjunjarra. And we have been kicking goals ever since...with thanks to our funders, partners, the Aboriginal Environmental Health Practitioners and the WA remote communities! Looking forward to more great projects post COVID-19

22.01.2022 We came in for a coffee and cheesecake What a great program the School is running. The Goldfish cafe stop in and ask them how they came up with the name.

22.01.2022 Excited to be able to get back out to communities to promote face & hand hygiene and facilitate bathroom and laundry fixes with the local Aboriginal environmental health workforce. This week we have partnered with the public health unit, the EH Directorate, Housing and the Aboriginal corporations so stay tuned as we head to the Lands.

22.01.2022 We have been getting soap out to remote Aboriginal communities for the past 14 months, along with skills based hand & face washing programs for all ages and ensuring functional bathrooms. Its reassuring to know these communities have access to this soap and can wash their hands and face in their own homes, to stay safe. Heres some pics of our soap deliveries. We cant wait to get back out to communities!

22.01.2022 The #endingtrachoma team is working in the Kimberley this week alongside the local Aboriginal Environmental Health Practitioners, the PHU, Shire of Halls Creek, Dept of Communities and WA Health. The focus is on providing safe and functional bathrooms & laundries in remote communities. Great team work in a beautiful part of the world!

20.01.2022 The 10000 towels donated by Rotary have arrived after a COVID related delay! These towels will be part of our safe bathroom audits and environmental health referrals for trachoma in remote WA communities. You know its a true partnership when one of your funders helps to unload and stack boxes....and boxes....and more boxes! Thanks Rob, youre a champion.

20.01.2022 A heartfelt thanks to the ladies-who are 88 and 95 years young- who knit & donate these beautiful bears that we give out to remote clinics across WA. They bring smiles to many young faces.

19.01.2022 Our project is gaining traction with a case study about the great outcomes we are achieving in remote WA communities published in the recently released Health Promotion in the 21st Century. Authored by Dr Mel Stoneham, its a must read!

16.01.2022 This short video acknowledges the many public health practitioners who worked behind the scenes and contributed to flatten the COVID-19 curve. The public health sectors work often goes un-noticed due to our focus on prevention so we thought it was important to shine a bright light on public health! We hope you enjoy watching it and please share widely. NITV ICTV Curtin University Safefood Minister for Public Health (Western Australia)

13.01.2022 Today we are working with a delightful group of young women and children from the Nollamara Footy Club to film a short video on the 6 steps to stopping germs.

11.01.2022 Kicking some goals in the Kimberley this week, making sure homes in remote communities have functional bathrooms and laundries. A hard working mob partnering to prevent trachoma! Big thank you to all on the team: My Healthy Kimberley Nirrumbuk EH&S Shire of Halls Creek, Robert Mullane Scott Mackenzie

10.01.2022 We love our project because its making a difference. Its the support we get from amazing organisations like Rotary Club Members and EndTrachoma by 2020 that make our job just a little easier. Thank you.

10.01.2022 Flashback with our very own Scotty!!!! The scrubbing shuffle was a song produced by the SDWK AEH unit in 2013. The song was aimed at school kids to help promote the importance of hygiene for West Australian remote Aboriginal communities.

10.01.2022 Had a fun day filming with the mob from Ngaanyatjarra Health Service and Bega Garnbirringu. Today we captured footage on how to gain entry into peoples homes - the dos and the donts

10.01.2022 If you know anyone who may be interested please pass this on. Filming locations will be either Broome or Kalgoorlie. Potential actresses can email questions or interest to either Scott at [email protected] or Mel at [email protected]

09.01.2022 Were all about getting the best out of people and agencies. Trachoma is a challenging disease. Trying to capture it over a lifespan with-in 30 seconds also had its challenges. Lush The Content Agency you excelled.

04.01.2022 Some of the remote country in the Midwest.

04.01.2022 We have loved working with the Aboriginal Environmental Health Practitioners who gathered in Kalgoorlie to help us develop a clinical referral program for the Goldfields. We yarned, developed processes and then tested them out in real life!

03.01.2022 During #COVID19 its especially important to wash your hands. This clip we made, may prove a useful trigger. So feel free to use it anywhere- clinic waiting rooms, on websites or tweet it...

02.01.2022 Did you catch Mel Stoneham on the ABC Midwest and Wheatbelt this morning?

01.01.2022 This story describes the important work we are doing in remote Aboriginal communities to reduce trachoma and increase hygiene. The project not only positively impacts on communities but its also extremely rewarding. Thanks to Uni of Melbourne for sharing: http://go.unimelb.edu.au/r5qr
