Numurkah Healthy Communities Project Launch
Today we hear more and more bad news. A massive increase in Type 2 Diabetes, obesity, depression, tobacco related harm, binge drinking, teenage pregnancies.
Numurkah and District Health Service has decided to do something about it.
The board have committed $750,000 over three years to the Numurkah Healthy Communities “Showing a Better Way to a Healthy Life” Project with an ambitious goal to see the entire community become more health conscious, eat healthy, become more physically active and through that reduce the incidence of chronic disease in our community.
This project will bring together the highly skilled professionals at Numurkah Community Health into a three year plan that combines effective, cutting edge health promotion, community education, and specialist lifestyle programs aimed at the families, parents, young people as well as the elderly in the Numurkah and District to help them live healthier lives.

From the Community Health Manager Welcome to our Community Health page. The staff at Numurkah Community Service are committed to providing local based high quality services that meet the needs of our local community.
The Board of the Numurkah District Health Service have approved the most significant health initiative to be introduced to the Numurkah District in the past ten years. With a focus on chronic disease prevention through a comprehensive health promotion program; early intervention for those at risk of chronic disease or newly diagnosed and helping chronic disease sufferers to better manage their disease, this project will seek to help and support the young, parents, families and the elderly to live healthier lives. Led by the team at Community Health, this will not just be us doing something to the community, it will be a genuine partnership project in which community groups, sporting clubs, schools, businesses, families and individuals will be encouraged to not just be a part of the project but be active leaders and champions to show the better way to a healthy life!
