NEW COLLABORATION FOR SOUTHWEST SCHOOLS

Students at schools in Waroona and Bunbury are set to benefit from a culturally based health program’s expansion into WA thanks to a new collaboration between Earbus Foundation and Malpa. 

Scheduled across 15 weeks in Terms 3 and 4, the 'Young Doctors for Life' program seeks to empower Indigenous and non-Indigenous students aged 9-12 years to be health ambassadors. Students will learn skills from Aboriginal Elders, doctors and paramedics in nutrition, hygiene and wellbeing. Earbus will provide hearing health training and played a crucial role in connecting Malpa with local schools.
