⚠️ COMMUNITY UPDATE – DOOMADGEE ⚠️

Unfortunately, Gidgee Healing’s Doomadgee Clinic will be closed today Monday 24 August following an incident involving the vehicle of our visiting GP and CEO.

Our GP, who had travelled to Doomadgee to provide medical coverage to the community for the next two weeks, has had their vehicle significantly damaged. The photos show the extent of the damage.

As a result of this incident, the GP will now be leaving the community and will no longer be able to provide the planned GP coverage for the next 2 weeks.

The safety and wellbeing of our staff is our priority, and Gidgee Healing is also making arrangements to ensure our nursing staff are able to leave the community safely.

We understand the significant impact that the clinic closure and loss of GP coverage will have on our patients and the wider Doomadgee community. Our team was already operating under significant pressure following similar recent damage to Gidgee Healing vehicles used for patient transport. This latest incident has further impacted our available vehicles and resources and has now made it impossible for us to safely maintain our usual clinic operations.

Our team is working to determine what alternative arrangements can be put in place, and we will provide further updates to the community as soon as possible.

We ask for the community’s patience and understanding during this time.

For any urgent medical concerns, please call 000 or visit the Doomadgee Hospital.

Today we proudly celebrate National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Worker and Health Practitioner Day.

At Gidgee Healing, we are incredibly proud of our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Workers and Health Practitioners who provide compassionate, culturally safe care and make a positive difference in the lives of our patients and communities every day.

Their knowledge, dedication and commitment are at the heart of the care we provide, and we are grateful for the important role they play in improving the health and wellbeing of our communities.

Today, we're excited to share a series of staff profiles celebrating some of our amazing team members and the passion they bring to their roles. We also extend our heartfelt thanks to all of our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Workers and Health Practitioners across Gidgee Healing for everything you do.

Please note: While we would have loved to feature every one of our Health Workers and Health Practitioners, some team members chose not to participate or preferred not to be featured on our social media channels. Today is a celebration of all of our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Workers and Health Practitioners, and we sincerely thank each and every one of you for your invaluable contributions.

Please join us in celebrating and thanking these incredible members of our team today. 👏

This week, Gidgee Healing CEO Dr Manjit Sekhon had the pleasure of attending the Mount Isa Rodeo Hall of Fame Dinner, an evening dedicated to celebrating the incredible people whose passion and dedication have helped shape the Mount Isa Rodeo into the iconic event it is today.

A special congratulations to Terry Lees, who was awarded a Mount Isa Rodeo Hall of Fame Medal in recognition of his decades of volunteer service and outstanding contribution to the Rodeo. What a well deserved honour!

Last night, Gidgee Healing CEO also joined the Mount Isa City Council and the local community at the Street Festival, helping kick off the exciting rodeo celebrations across town.

Gidgee Healing is proud to be part of a community that values connection, tradition and the people who make Mount Isa such a special place. We hope everyone has a fantastic and safe Rodeo weekend! 🐂🎉
