Non-Urgent patient Transfer Vehicle

The Shire of Nannup has launched a new initiative aimed at supporting residents who are unable to drive due to age, health, or other reasons. 

We have acquired a non-urgent patient transfer vehicle, which will be managed by the Shire to provide transportation for medical appointments.

This service is designed to ensure our residents can maintain their health by attending necessary medical appointments.

We extend our gratitude to the volunteers who have already registered as drivers. Your contribution is highly valued. To make bookings and for more information, please visit or contact :

Chair Yoga -Gentle Movement for a Healthier Life

Chair yoga is a wonderful way for seniors to stay active, improve flexibility, and enhance overall well-being—all from the comfort of a chair. Our specially designed yoga routine helps with gentle stretching to ease stiffness, improves balance and stability, and supports joint health, reducing pain. Beyond the physical benefits, chair yoga promotes relaxation, reduces stress, and boosts mental well-being. It also strengthens muscles, improves posture, and makes daily activities easier. Best of all, it's a great way to connect with others and build a sense of community.

Watch our YouTube video to follow along and experience the benefits of chair yoga today.

Infectious respiratory disease: prepare and prevent for older people

 

Prepare and prevent

  • Older age is one of the biggest risk factors for serious health issues from infectious respiratory diseases such as COVID-19 and influenza (flu).
  • Regular vaccination is the best way to reduce the risks of serious illness, hospitalisation or death from infectious respiratory diseases, for yourself and the people you care about.
  • Vaccines are a safe and effective way to protect yourself, your family and others in the community from a respiratory illness.
  • A COVID-19 vaccine dose is recommended every 6 months for people aged 75 and over and should be considered for those 65 and over or with compromised immunity.
  • People aged 65 to 74 years are eligible for a COVID-19 vaccine dose every 6 months, following discussion with a healthcare provider.
  • All adults are eligible for an annual COVID-19 and flu vaccination.
  • It’s safe to get the COVID-19 and flu vaccines on the same day.
  • People aged 65 years and older can access vaccinations through their GP, pharmacist, community health centre or Aboriginal health service. Some vaccines are funded for people over the age of 65, such as the COVID-19 and flu vaccines.
  • If you have a family member, friend or loved one living or working in an aged care home, please help them to get their COVID-19 and flu vaccines.
  • You don't have to wait 6 months between your last COVID-19 infection and having a COVID-19 vaccination.
  • Remember to keep up with good hygiene practices to reduce the spread of respiratory illnesses, particularly around older people:
    • cover coughs and sneezes
    • regularly wash your hands
    • wear a face mask when required
    • stay at home when you are unwell.
