The best of care

THE first Friends of BUSHkids meeting will be held in the Condamine Valley QCWA rooms tomorrow at 4.30pm.
Southern Downs MP Lawrence Springborg said he was looking forward to attending the important meeting, which will ensure the Warwick community is getting the best possible services from the organisation.
“BUSHkids (Royal Queensland Bush Children’s Health Scheme) is a non-government, not-for-profit organisation providing a range of free allied health care and services to children and their families in rural Queensland who are not accessing other specialist services,” Mr Springborg said.
“Warwick is one of the five primary centres throughout Queensland providing an outreach service to the surrounding district and towns.
“Each centre is staffed by a speech-language pathologist, occupational therapist, clinical psychologist and family health support worker.”
Mr Springborg said BUSHkids wanted to engage directly with the Warwick community to ensure that they were providing the best possible service.
“The best way to do this is to form a community-based Friends of BUSHkids group that will inform the public of the services BUSHkids provides,” he said.
“The BUSHkids organisation will celebrate its 80th year in 2015 and I encourage anyone who knows or has worked with BUSHkids to attend this important meeting,” Mr Springborg added.
