KARI has won the Oral Health Quality Award under the category of ‘excellence in provision of care and services to Aboriginal Clients’. This award was given at the South Western Sydney Local Health District’s Award night.
KARI have been a partner agency in a collaborative project with South Western Sydney Local Health District’s (SWSLHD) Oral Health Service to improve the oral health care of Aboriginal children across the district.
The benefit has been that children in KARI’s OOHC and Brighter Futures programs have priority pathways into accessing timely as well as regular oral health checks, treatments and preventative works.
The positive impact and success of this project is recognised by winning the 2018 SWSLHD Quality Award under the category “Excellence in Provision of Care and Services to Aboriginal Clients”.
The project was also selected as a finalist in the 2018 NSW Health Awards. It was nominated under the category of “Keeping People Healthy”.
This category acknowledges the innovation as well as excellence of health initiatives across the state.
KARI is proud to be a collaborator and have our clients be the beneficiaries of this important initiative. This initiative has seen positive outcomes for our children as well as all children in the local Aboriginal community.
It was truly an honour to have the KARI Health Clinic nominated for such an award.
