I’ve managed to reach Gayndah and stopped in at the Indigenous Wellbeing Centre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Indigenous Wellbeing Centre provides holistic health, wellbeing and family services to Aboriginal, Torres Strait Islander and non-Indigenous peoples of the Bundaburg and Wide Bay\/Burnett regions. They are an diverse and inclusive service focusing on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, the disadvantaged, frail, vulnerable and at-risk peoples.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Centre provides a range of services including general medical, dental, allied health including physiotherapy, dietetics and speech therapy, and psychology. They also have their own gym and provide home care services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One thing that particularly interested me was their Cultural Healing Service. The service is provided through in partnership with a third-party provider, Kultchafi<\/a>, and consists of both Cultural Responsiveness Training (to facilitate and deliver culturally safe workplaces and services) and Healing Circle Work (a form of group therapy where participants experience a restorative and health-giving sense of wellbeing to themselves and others). As with other services, the Cultural Healing Service is available to Aboriginal, Torres Strait Islander, and non-Indigenous peoples.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
