Thank You FRANKLAND CWA

Last year was a very busy and exciting year for our

group. Winning all the main trophies in the Craft

Competition of the southern CWA’s being our biggest

achievement.

This year also promises to be exciting as it will be 60

years since Frankland CWA first began. With this in

mind we are hoping for some new members to join to

keep it going as CWA does achieve a lot behind the

scenes with the Government in legal, health, transport,

road safety, social service assistance, rural issues,

communication and so it goes on.

Would you like to have a say on issues you feel the

Government should be looking into, if so join CWA.

Shelters provided in school yards for children might

seem a small issue but its just one of the things CWA

got the Government to implement.

Our Annual General Meeting will be held at the

Frankland River Hall on Thursday 11 February at

10.00am. Ladies think about joining - love to see you

there.

Shirley Williams 9826 8009

Thank you to everyone who attended the fire

on our farms at Rocky Gully on the

2nd January 2016.

We are very appreciative of all your efforts

during and after the fire.

Ian and Alanna Higgins

Jim and Pina McCully

We had a messy fire here on our farm in

Mobrup recently, that a lot of Frankland

people attended. As we don’t know all the

people who turned up and gave assistance

we couldn’t begin to contact everyone to

extend our appreciation and thanks. So a

huge thank you to everyone your quick

response and support are greatly

appreciated.

Erin and Kelly

Farewell to Father Brown

Father Brown has been transferred to another diocese

starting on 1 February so anyone wishing to say farewell

to Father John, a luncheon will be held in Mt. Barker at

January at the school building next to the Catholic

Telehealth gives birth to

new service for parents

Free childbirth education and parenting classes via

telehealth

Classes may be done at home via videoconference

Program to run throughout the Great Southern

from early February 2016

A new service established as part of the State

Government's telehealth initiative will mean expectant

parents in the Great Southern can access free antenatal

education classes via video link.

Pregnant mothers and their partners are invited to join a

short series of antenatal and birth preparation classes,

which will be beamed to their homes via secure

videoconferencing software or they can link in at their

local telehealth service.

Health Minister Kim Hames said using telehealth to

deliver important education classes to expectant parents

would potentially reduce the amount of travel required

during pregnancy, and hopefully increase the number of

people participating in important educational classes.

"It is hoped the antenatal education telehealth service

will give expectant parents peace of mind to know they

can access information to help them prepare for

parenthood from even the most remote locations," Dr

Hames said.

Participants with good internet access and speed may be

able to attend the classes from home, while others can

attend at their nearest telehealth venue.

The service has been made possible by the State

Government's Royalties for Regions program and the

Southern Inland Health Initiative as part of the Maternal

Health Improvement Program.

Regional Development Minister Terry Redman said the

provision of appropriate health care services was

essential to the long-term sustainability of regional

communities.

"Pregnancy and childbirth are incredible milestones and

we want to ensure people living in regional and remote

areas have the same level of access to the services as

their metropolitan counterparts," Mr Redman said.

"The Royalties for Regions investment in telehealth

services greatly improves access to quality health care. I

am proud to see the Southern Inland Health Initiative

delivering the Maternal Health Improvement Program

and other innovative models of health care in regional

WA."

• The service will start in the Great Southern in early

February 2016. Expectant parents interested in

participating in the program can contact 9842 7546 for

further information

• The additional telehealth service is one of several

projects under way to enhance antenatal and postnatal

care throughout the Great Southern and Wheatbelt

regions

• Those who participate from their homes will be guided

to download videoconferencing software, Scopia, and

provided with a secure reference number to access the

classes

Please contact the Frankland River CRC if you wish

to participate via Videoconferencing at the

Community Resource Centre. Phone 9855 2310

New Project Officers Start at

The Blackwood Basin Group The Priority Bittern and Waterbird Biodiversity

Enhancement Project, coordinated by the Blackwood

Basin Group (BBG), has some changes in store.

The four year project, funded by the Australian

Government, aims to create a wetland haven at

Schwenke’s Dam, Greenbushes, to attract critically

endangered waterbirds.

New Project Officers

Two new project officers have joined our team.

Margaret Jakobson and Kristen Mappin recently started

at the Blackwood Basin Group to help continue the

wonderful progress made on the wetlands around

Greenbushes.

Margaret is an Environmental Scientist and

Entomologist who has been working with us as a

volunteer with the macroinvertebrate group for the last

two years. She has experience with working with

community groups to achieve goals such as setting up a

cooperative pest management group and managing a

community run. Margaret says “I am most looking

forward to working with the community in an area that I

am passionate about.”

Kristen has a background in Botany and community

based conservation. She shall be managing the on

ground works of the project such as weed and pest

control, flora surveys and rehabilitation plantings. One

of her first tasks is the development of a cockatoo

workshop and feral fox control programs. Kristen says

“I feel very privileged to have discovered a project that

is local and using my expertise. I am looking forward to

working on the project and developing my knowledge as

the project continues to grow.”

This project is supported by the Blackwood Basin

Group, through funding from the

Australian Government.
