Once a month paramedics set up in a small office, within Corryong’s Emergency FoodShare services building, to offer health checks to Upper Murray residents.
Five years since the Black Summer bushfires ravaged the region, many people have rebuilt their homes but the toll on their physical and mental health is still showing up for some only now.
People having health checks are often referred to a GP; one was even taken to Albury Wodonga Health’s emergency department recently by Ambulance. Some say it’s the tip of the iceberg in The Upper Murray Region.
