We help people with long term health conditions like diabetes, and heart and lung issues get the right health care to support their wellbeing. This includes help with GP referrals to other health services and finding mental health support.
You can also do free exercise sessions at the Deadly Steps Together Gym, Bremer Medical Centre, Building F, 11 Salisbury Road, Ipswich. You’ll get to yarn with an exercise physiologist and Indigenous health workers about ways to stay healthy.
If you don’t live near the gym, we can arrange home visits and telehealth services for you.
Murrumba Targan Djimbulung means 'good healing my people' in local traditional languages.
Rural residents can also attend a drop-in clinic at Laidley Hospital on the last Wednesday of every month from 10 am to 1 pm.
