We Go To Rio...

Our new South Pilbara program serving the townships of Tom Price and Paraburdoo and the communities of Wakathuni and Bellary Springs is now being funded by Rio Tinto. We are excited to partner with Rio to put a customised and fully equipped new Earbus into the region along with multi-year funding to ensure program continuity. Despite interruptions caused by Covid-19 we have already done 2 visits to local schools and communities and have follow-up visits re- commencing in July.

Thanks to Rio Tinto’s generous support, we will be able to offer 10 visits a year with our specialist Clinical Team comprising Audiologist, Nurse and Primary Care physician. Local schools have embraced the program enthusiastically and we look forward to working with local support agencies Nintirri, Gumala and the wonderful local nurses supported by WA Country Health Services. Rio Tinto is a world-leading mining and metals company operating in around 36 countries with a purpose to produce the materials essential to human progress.
