A new pilot program designed to help local residents better understand and access healthcare services has been launched across the Wee Waa district.
The Wee Waa Care Navigation Service, delivered by HealthWISE, will support community members living in Wee Waa, Pilliga, Gwabegar, Burren Junction, Rowena and surrounding areas.
The initiative was developed following the findings of the Wee Waa Community Health Survey conducted by RDN Health in late 2024, which identified that many community members were unsure how and where to access appropriate healthcare services.
The free service aims to make navigating the healthcare system easier by assisting individuals to connect with the right services and supports for their needs.
