		Regional Health Services Program REGIONAL HEALTH SERVICES PROGRAM The Regional Health Services Program is a Commonwealth funded program providing Health Promotion and podiatry services to the towns of Goodnight, Tooleybuc, Kyalite, Piangil, Koraleigh, Nyah, Nyah West, Moulamein, Sea Lake, Culgoa, Berriwillock, Nandaly and Woomelang. The program was originally initiated by the Nyah Action Group who felt there was a need for increased health services in rural areas. Following this, an extensive process was undertaken and involved the engagement of consultants for a health needs assessment of the included communities. This report assisted Swan Hill District Health to develop a plan to address the needs of the communities surveyed and apply for further funding under the Regional Health Services Program. The program employs a full time program manager, and a Community Health Nurse, Dietitian, Physiotherapist and Podiatrist one day per week each to provide health promotion services. In addition to this, the podiatrist has been employed for an additional three days per week to provide direct podiatry service, one day per week in Sea Lake (Tuesday’s), Nyah West (Wednesday and Thursday mornings), three days per month in Tooleybuc (Friday’s) and one day per month in Moulamein (Friday).
