We recently had another wonderful Annual Staff Training Day here at the BNC!
It was so lovely to have Steph from 3 Rivers Training back in Dargo to refresh us and provide education on Managing Immunisation Emergencies, CPR + Defibrillation and Manual Handling (Movement and Transfer of Clients). We had lots of fun during these sessions but more importantly, this is an annual upskilling requirement for all of our Nurses, Admin staff, Cleaners and Home Support Workers.
Thank you Steph😊and see you again next year!
We were then lucky to have members of the Briagolong CFA Brigade John, Val and John come to Dargo and provide us with Fire and Chemical safety training within the internal and external aspects of the BNC building and practical fire extinguisher training which is always fun and a necessary skill for us all!🧯👩‍🚒

These days allow our staff to all be together and handover everything relevant to BNC operations – an essential aspect of keeping our Centre running smoothly!

Thanks so much to the Dargo Store for our amazing Lunch as well!🤤

Amazing effort from all involved, and a big shout out to the volunteers and the local CFA crews who gave their time to be here. You all made us feel safe and looked after. Summers definitely not over yet, but the threat has eased for now.

Check out all the road closure details on official sites, but looks like we’ll be seeing you all back here real soon ☺️🙌 Make sure you always check weather conditions and road closures leading up to your trips to the High Country. She’s a mighty beautiful place to explore, but when she gets wild, she holds back for no one.

We have an exciting opportunity available for casual Registered Nurses to apply to join our casual bank. Are you looking for a change in a new and exciting environment? Something totally different to add to your Nursing experience? Or maybe you are already a Remote Area Nurse who would love to come and work in Dargo.

Working in Dargo provides a busy and varied environment, with a strong focus on building a strong resilient Community. From working within the Centre, to nursing in the community, to emergency callouts supported by Ambulance Victoria. No two days are ever the same.

In your down-time, you have access to some of the most amazing sceneries, bushwalking, fishing, swimming in the river and of course, you're right on the doorstep of the wider High Country! 🙌

Some important information around heat-related illnesses. Stay cool everyone 😎

Due to the ongoing fire threat and the extreme weather conditions over this long weekend, we are available for contact via our normal phone contact numbers for Members and Dargo residents. Please note the Centre is not open over Saturday, Sunday and Monday, and currently there are no Nurses in Dargo. We offer this service as a layer of support for our community to ensure that all Agencies can coordinate in the event of any emergency situations.

We are also happy to coordinate any welfare checks should any concerns arise. Remember if it is an emergency, please call 000. If it is a non life threatening medical concern, Victorian Virtual Emergency Department can assist you (check out closure poster for further details). Take care over this hot weekend, keep an eye out for each other and if you think we can be of assistance don’t hesitate to call.
