Wellington Aboriginal Corporation Health Service (WACHS) will combine with Deadly Choices, Urban Indigenous Health and New South Wales Rugby League to encourage the Aboriginal Community to obtain a 715 Health Check annually.
The promotion aims to target chronic disease, nutrition, physical activity and smoking which can have a negative impact on Indigenous communities.
The promotion will see Indigenous people receive a free NSWRL inspired shirt when they attend the WACHS Clinic in Maxwell Street to get a Health Check.
The WACHS Maxwell Street Clinic will host a BBQ lunch for the school students and community then conduct activities at Wellington Primary School.
Mr Darren Ah See said, “The activities will see our Quit B Fit and New South Wales Rugby League staff combine to run activations on Tobacco Education, Physical activity, nutrition and Leadership with the Primary school kids in year’s 3, 4, 5 and 6.”
“This is a great opportunity for the local community to get behind the campaign and encourage their family members to do the same.”
