ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH PROGRAM

Environmental Health provides a comprehensive environmental health program to the Kardaloo and Pia Wajarri remote communities and assists where possible and in like fashion, other Aboriginal communities in the region such as Buttah Windee,  Yulga Jinna, Mt Magnet, Burringurrah and Mungallah.

​

It is acknowledged that interagency partnerships have been developed with the Departments of Families, Housing, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs [FaHCSIA] via municipal service providers such as Yulella and MEEDAC to assist in service delivery.

​

In addition, a Memorandum of Understanding has also been developed and signed off on with the City of Greater Geraldton. The objectives of this MOU are to;

• Establish partnerships and share responsibility for achieving measurable and sustainable improvements for people living in the community.

• Support and strengthen local governance, decision-making and accountability.

• Learn from a shared approach – identify what works and what doesn’t and apply lessons to future approaches at community and other relevant levels.

• To support and encourage younger members of the Aboriginal Community to undertake training in Environmental Health and apply it at the community level, and to undertake Environmental Health awareness programs in the community.

• Bundiyarra Aboriginal Community and the City of Greater Geraldton may also provide access to one another's plant and equipment on an as-needs basis and as determined and agreed to by either party undertaking the activity.

• The Geraldton Regional Aboriginal Medical Service is also an unofficial partner in the MOU, providing capital and equipment relating to three vehicles for the provisions of service.
