Hinchinbrook Health and Wellbeing Program Feedback Survey
Council is conducting a survey for its 2023 Hinchinbrook Health and Wellbeing Program to support more of the Shire being healthier and active.
The survey will help us understand what the community wants and/or needs from this program to improve participation.
To complete the survey, please visit https://bit.ly/3Q95p54.
Survey closes 5.00pm Friday 30 September 2022.
This program is supported by Northern Queensland PHN and Move It NQ.
Rural Road Safety Month
Australian Road Safety Foundation's Rural Road Safety Month national awareness campaign targets regional and rural road safety throughout September.
It may be surprising to read that rural road crashes account for more than 65% of the Australian road toll, and the rate of serious road-related injury in rural areas is nearly twice that of those in major cities.
All road users are encouraged to be vigilant and help make a significant reduction in road trauma.
Active Kids Grants Opening Soon
Does your team need new uniforms or equipment to kick off the season?
The Active Kids Grants are available for volunteer-run community clubs and organisations with members aged 20 years or younger.

Dementia Action Week 2022
Dementia Action Week is a national awareness-raising initiative and this year it runs from Monday 19 September to Sunday 25 September 2022.
This year’s theme is ‘A little support makes a big difference’.
Discrimination has a big impact on people living with dementia, their families and carers, and a little support from the community and health care professionals can make a big difference.
For further information or for tips on how to support people living with dementia, please visit https://bit.ly/3egVcq0.
