What can a community achieve when people come together with a shared goal? In Bordertown, the answer is a new mobile X-ray machine that will support local healthcare for years to come.

Community fundraising contributed more than $100,000 towards the purchase, giving Tatiara locals access to quality diagnostic imaging at Bordertown Memorial Hospital.

🙌❤️ A huge thank you to the Rotary Club of Bordertown and the local community for investing in the health and wellbeing of the Bordertown and surrounding communities.

October is 𝗠𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵 𝗠𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗵, with World Mental Health Day recognised on 10 October.

This year’s theme, 𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗪𝗮𝘆 𝘁𝗼 𝗪𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗯𝗲𝗶𝗻𝗴, is a reminder that wellbeing can look different for everyone – and that looking after our mental health can start with small, everyday actions.

Working in healthcare and living in regional communities can bring unique challenges. Taking time to pause, connect with others and reach out when support is needed can make a difference.

Throughout Mental Health Month, we encourage our community to:
🧘‍♂️ Take time to pause and reflect
💬 Check in with the people around you
🌿 Make time for things that support your wellbeing
🤝 Reach out for support when you need it

You don’t need to be in crisis to ask for help.

This Mental Health Month, let’s continue to look out for ourselves and each other, and help build communities where people feel 𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗲𝗱, 𝘃𝗮𝗹𝘂𝗲𝗱 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗲𝗱.
