South-west WA hosts Indigenous mobile health clinic trial

A mobile health clinic, which brings medical services to Indigenous people who face transport difficulties, is to be trialled in south-west Western Australia. The clinic, run by the South West Aboriginal Medical Service, will make weekly visits to Brunswick Junction and Collie.

The clinic will have Indigenous health workers on board to provide initial consultations, in order to respond to the needs of those Indigenous people who find it difficult to travel to the central Bunbury Regional Hospital. Chief executive Glen Power says the clinic will focus on providing women's and maternal health services.
