During winter, many people manage their cold and flu symptoms at home, meaning official data may not always represent what is happening in our community.

Flutracking is a weekly online survey where you will answer a short set of questions each week about any symptoms you have experienced to help provide a better view of respiratory illness.

✅ Each and every input helps make FluTracking more representative of the Far West community.

✅ We are always seeking representation from diverse groups. When registering, you can identify other members of your household, such as children. This helps identify trends amongst age groups.

Refurbishment works have commenced on the emergency department at Balranald Multipurpose Service (MPS).

The emergency department sustained severe storm damage in January this year and has been operating from a temporary location within the MPS until repairs are completed.

Refurbishment works will include repairing the ceilings, walls and floors as well as the roofline over the area.

All health services are expected to remain operational while refurbishment works take place. Any temporary changes or access restrictions at the MPS will be communicated to the public in a timely manner.

Consumers and visitors are asked to follow all work site directions to ensure public safety is maintained. The community's understanding and patience is appreciated during this time.
