Koorie Men’s Health Day becomes a regular event

Following the success of the original Koorie Men’s Health Day in January 2012, the Elders of the Morwell Aboriginal community have organised a program where they will run similar health days twice a year. The first in the new program was conducted on 20 March 2014.

The Elders are supported by the Gippsland Medicare Local. Dr Anton Isaacs from MUDRIH, who was instrumental in developing the original concept, was invited to undertake the medical examinations. Fourteen Aboriginal men from the local community participated in the program and the organisers received very positive feedback.
