Maternal and Child Health services expanded their service this year with the addition of an Aboriginal Health Worker to the team.

Allirra Edwards works alongside a Latrobe City Council Maternal and Child Health nurse from Koorie Maternity Services at Ramahyuck District Aboriginal Health Service, to provide aboriginal families with services in a culturally appropriate setting and includes an outreach component.

Latrobe City Council is a proud supporter of the Steps to the Future program, developed to improve indigenous employment opportunities in Gippsland.

The program offers candidates pre-employment training, wage assistance, cross-cultural training, mentoring and support, working together to close the gap.
