Male Health Program
| This program currently looks after
male sexual health, health education and conducts health checks for
males. Male Aboriginal Health Workers are available on request and can refer men to a male doctor in the main clinic as required. The Well Men’s Check targets the main risk factors
for Aboriginal men and youths. |
 |
We are currently undertaking consultations with men in
the community and the various agencies associated with male health in
order to plan how we’ll go about it and we’re looking for a
new building that will be central to town, separate and private.
We expect that the new male health program will continue doing what it
does now but that the main focus will become alcohol, smoking, violence
and parenting.
Some of the ways that a male health centre might approach these issues,
for example, are through sport, cultural support, a culturally and gender
appropriate clinic service and assistance with education and employment.
