INTEGRATED WOMEN’S HEALTH HUB COMING SOON TO CAIRNS SOUTH Want to be part of an exciting new initiative? Women and girls in Cairns South will soon have access to a dedicated space for integrated health and wellbeing services with the launch of The Jalbu Health Hub. The integrated women and girls health hub funded by the Queensland Government, is currently under construction. We expect the hub to be open in the coming months. The Hub will provide free, holistic health services while creating multiple new local employment opportunities. Designed to deliver essential, culturally sensitive health care, the hub will cater to women and girls of all ages and backgrounds, addressing a wide range of needs. Services will include maternal health, mental health support, chronic disease management and family planning, ensuring holistic care for women and girls at every stage of life. The hub will be operated by Wuchopperen Health Service, a trusted local organisation with a long history of delivering high-quality, culturally appropriate health care in Far North Queensland. Wuchopperen CEO, Joy Savage, highlighted the organisation’s commitment to the community and the transformative impact of the new hub. “The Integrated Women’s Health Hub is about creating a safe and inclusive space where women and girls in Cairns South can prioritise their health and wellbeing,” said Ms. Savage. “By offering free, walk-in services and creating opportunities for locals to care for locals, the hub will have a lasting positive impact on families and the wider community.” The hub extends open arms to all women and girls, regardless of age, background or circumstances. It has been designed as a culturally safe and supportive environment, with programs tailored to the diverse needs of the Cairns South community. This initiative is especially significant for Cairns South, where access to comprehensive, culturally respectful health services has been a growing, but not fully met need. By addressing these challenges, the hub aims to foster healthier families and a stronger, more resilient community. In addition to providing vital health services, the hub will strengthen the local economy by creating several new employment opportunities. These include health care professionals, community support workers and administrative staff. Recruitment is now open, and Wuchopperen looks forward to applications from local residents before the 17 February deadline.
