19.01.2022 Healthy Towns North Coast work in partnership with North Coast Communities to design local initiatives to improve health and wellbeing.... Based in the outcomes... of consultations between North Coast Primary Health Network and our Evans Head Community it was identified that Evans Head needed a defibrillator installed which would be accessible to community members in case of a medical emergency 24 hours a day.... That defibrillator has now been installed in the Oak Street arcade which can be accessed at all times....

Please contact me if you would like anymore information
