KDHS leads the way with disability project
Kyabram District Health Service will be leading the Murray sub-region Disability Liaison Officer Project, which will assist people with a disability in navigating COVID-19.
This includes helping individuals access in-home vaccinations, creating a Health Passport, and what to do if they receive a positive test or need to self-isolate.
Kerrie Reardon will be co-ordinating the project for the sub-region with Candy Fanning being the KDHS disability liaison officer and Chris Mccormick as the administrative support officer.
“All people should have equitable access to health support. We are looking forward to working with the local community,” Ms Reardon said.
The project is funded by the Victorian Government until June 30 and one person has already been successfully assisted in getting a COVID-19 booster.
