Strathbogie Shire Council’s rural outreach worker Brian Hill is here to help.
Mr Hill started in the job last year and serves as the link between council and residents.
Strathbogie Shire Mayor Laura Binks encouraged people to reach out and get in touch with Mr Hill.
“Brian provides a valuable link between rural community members and various support services and agencies so you can get the appropriate assistance for any issues you may be facing,” Cr Binks said.
One of these support services is a new men’s health check program running out of Euroa.
Cr Binks is encouraging men to engage with the AgriClinic health checks, which only take 90 minutes, and can run through cholesterol levels, blood pressure, hearing, vision, skin checks and more.
“We know statistically that rural men do not often seek out preventative health measures so this is a fantastic way to check in on your health to make sure you can continue to strive and work in a rural setting,” Cr Binks said.
Mr Hill can help link people with AgricClinic health checks, conducted by Primary Care Connect.
Alongside popping up at the Euroa Cattle Sales, Mr Hill has also attended the First-Time Parent Groups and Outreach Community Forum in Euroa.
To find out more about the AgriClinic health checks and contacting Mr Hill, phone Strathbogie Shire offices on 1800 065 993 or email info@strathbogie.vic.gov.au
