Info on WA paeds?
I'm moving to a small town on the Southern Wheatbelt of WA. About 4 hours south east of Perth.
Has anyone got any info on Paeds in the area? I'm thinking (hoping) there might be one at Albany or Narrogin? Travelling to Perth seems a bit far.
Or do they travel to the smaller isolated area's? I know the town I'm heading to is getting a medical centre soon... open one day a week
Info on what is available through the schools would be awesome too!
I hear OT & speech are? Are they free services? & what else is there??
Thankyou people

2 hours South of Narrogin. Newdegate.
Its in the Esperance zone for schooling (OT & Speech come from down there as far as I know), which is the same distance away as Perth.

Hey hun, I'm in the Eastern Whealtbelt (just on the border of the goldfields) and we have to travel to Perth for a paed. Even when I was in Northam we had to travel. Speech, ot, physio, etc are all free through allied/community health. Will definitely be some in Albany and I would expect Narrogin too as it's about the same size as Northam.
Some towns have travelling paeds, Northam has one that comes once a month (however he's a private one).
I hope that helps!

They're actually building a new medical centre down in newdy. I think I heard a paed would be travelling down, but not sure.
If not down there, maybe lake grace. Narrogin & Albany would be close enough anyway
Thanks!
