Our next Skin Check Clinic in Dargo, is available to our members and is to be confirmed for March 2026. You can contact us to put your name on the waitlist and to obtain a letter to take to your GP for a Referral to be obtained to attend this clinic.

We are so lucky to be able to offer these services in an area as remote as Dargo. Yet another successful day provided to the community, by the Bush Nursing Centre and our wonderful staff.

We recently hosted our annual Winter Christmas Lunch at the Dargo Hall and wanted to thank everyone who attended for such a great, entertaining and sociable day!🎅🍽🎊

Malcolm Hackett was our Guest Presenter this year and gave a very informative and emotional talk about his personal experience of trauma and loss during the Black Saturday Bushfires in Strathewen. Malcolm was instrumental in forming the Strathewen Bushfire Renewal Association which developed a democratic, community-led approach to recovery - one of the first of its kind and something we will need to do if Dargo ever experiences destruction on that scale.

Our meal this year was catered by Helen and her team from the Pub, and it was delicious! 👏🍝🥧 Thanks so much guys for feeding us a beautiful roast and dessert and to those who helped serve & in the kitchen!

We'd like to extend a big THANK YOU to Australian Red Cross who suported our lunch this year🙏 It was great to have Fyowna Norton and Charee Aspinal come to Dargo to celebrate with us all😍 Thanks Emile Theodore for organising Australian Red Cross to participate and for updating us on the Dargo Climate Change Adaptation Pilot that we have all been working on!

Once again, Joan Traill did a brilliant job organising the Raffle prizes and we raised $428 which is awesome!!! We really appreciate everyone who brought tickets😊

We loved seeing you all and hope you had as much fun as we did🥰🙋‍♀️🎉
