Each month, the Flinders Health and Wellbeing Program shares an initiative that supports a holistic approach to safety, health and wellbeing, aimed at increasing awareness of health and wellbeing issues, choices and behaviours. The theme for December is ‘The Joy of Giving’.

The WHS unit wishes to thank everyone for the support through 2024 and ask that you consider supporting a charity close to your heart in the spirit of giving.
