Optometry services now available
We are excited to introduce Daniel Thompson, who is now be providing onsite optometry services to our aged care residents at Boort District Health! This arrangement means our residents can receive their eye check-ups right here at BDH without the need to travel.
Daniel is a highly experienced optometrist with special interests in managing glaucoma, keratoconus, dry eye, and general optometry.
He brings a wealth of knowledge from his extensive background in regional and remote practice, as well as his roles at Deakin University, the Royal Victorian Eye and Ear Hospital, and the
Optometrists Association of Australia. Daniel offers a thorough and professional service.
Boort District Health Community Garden continues to evolve and grow.
We were delighted to have recently received an incredible addition—a firepit crafted by Laurie Maxted.
Made from plough plates and a truck rim, the firepit has a unique feature to our garden. The new garden paths have been completed.
The community garden has hosted an egg plant propagation and seed saving workshop and Goldfields Library used the amazing setting for a gardening storytime last month.
The garden is truly coming together!
Students visit Loddon Place
Students from Boort District School are regularly visitors to Loddon Place, sharing time and activities with our residents. Recently, we were delighted to welcome students in Year 3 and 4 – the young peoiple spent time reading stories to our residents, sharing conversations. It was a heartwarming experience for everyone involved!
