👏

🏆 We’re incredibly proud to share that Wunan Foundation and Cyrenian House have received the Partnership Award at the 2026 Strong Spirit Strong Mind Awards, recognising our work together to establish the Kununurra Withdrawal and Intervention Centre (KWIC).

It’s been amazing to see KWIC come to life and provide our community with a service that has long been needed in the East Kimberley, helping people access safe, culturally responsive withdrawal support closer to home, family and Country.

Thank you to everyone who has played a part in bringing KWIC to life for our community. A special thanks to Cyrenian House for their incredible support throughout the establishment phase, and to the Western Australian Mental Health Commission for their funding and support in making this service possible.

❓️Did you know about the Access Health WA website? The 'Where to go When’ information campaign was launched earlier in the year to help Western Australians understand their care options and access appropriate services for their condition.

💻 https://www.access.health.wa.gov.au/

Access Health WA can help improve access to appropriate, convenient and affordable health care by providing clear information about the range of choices available.

Choose the right health care near you:
➡️ If it’s life-threatening, call Triple Zero (000).

➡️ If you need care today but it’s not an emergency, call Wunan Health on 9168 1001 from 8am weekdays (9am on Wednesdays) and check if there are appointments available.
If not with a Doctor, a Nurse or Aboriginal Health Practitioner can be a great resource. (In person or telehealth appointments may be an option), or calling 1800MEDICARE (1800 633 422) may be faster.

➡️ Outside normal opening hours Wunan Health recommends that patients with urgent or more serious medical problems go to the Emergency Department at Kununurra District Hospital – Telephone: 9166 4222
