Growing older in Goondiwindi shouldn’t mean choosing between the care you need and the community you love.

Goondiwindi is a place shaped by rich culture, strong community spirit and deep connection. Here, home is about much more than four walls - it is familiar faces, lifelong friendships, treasured routines, local places and the sense of belonging that comes from being part of a community that knows and cares for one another.

We also understand that ageing well in a regional community can bring unique challenges. Distances are greater, access to specialist services can be harder, and the relationships between families, neighbours and local health professionals often play an important role in keeping people well.

That understanding is a big part of why Wattle and River Home Health exists.
We believe older people should be able to access high-quality, personalised care while remaining connected to the people, places and way of life they love.

Because ageing well at home isn’t simply about staying in your house. It’s about continuing to belong.
And where you live should never determine the quality of care you receive.
đź’™ Care built here, for here.

🌾 Take the Medicare Rural Health Inquiry Survey: https://buff.ly/jGRSJEF

If you live rurally, you know healthcare often means extra travel, extra time, and a bit of juggling.

Macintyre Health is collecting real-life experiences from rural, remote and regional communities through a short survey. It’s a chance to share what accessing care is actually like where you live: what’s hard, what helps, and what makes a difference.

These stories will be shared with the Senate as part of the Medicare Inquiry, so decision-makers can hear directly from the people living it. All submissions will be de-identified and your privacy upheld.

If you’ve waited too long, driven too far, or watched services disappear, your story matters in this Medicare reform.

Good news for our diabetes community: the MiniMed™ 780G insulin pump now works with Fiasp®, a faster-acting insulin that offers more choice and flexibility. This update is ideal for people who want quicker insulin action, or who find it hard to time their boluses perfectly every day.

All new pumps come with the latest software, and there’s a wireless (FOTA) update coming soon for current users too.

If you’ve been thinking about pump therapy or have questions about how Fiasp could fit your management plan, we’d love to help. Just reach out or book an appointment, we’re here to support you.

For more info, you can also head to the Medtronic website to learn more details: www.medtronic-diabetes.com.au
