Region: Hobart area
Accessible healthcare and preventative medicine is desperately needed in our community with Tasmania having some of the worst health outcomes and strained healthcare systems in Australia.
Our Values:
- Community
- Accessibility
- Resilience
- Natural Medicines
- People’s Medicines
- Reviving Commons
What we do:
Community Clinics
Once monthly alternative health clinics that run on a sliding scale, starting at $0. Entirely staffed by volunteers, and stocked with found, foraged, and made medicines.
These clinics are aimed at supporting access to natural health for people who would be otherwise priced out.
Education & Workshops
Education is a big focus for us filling the core purposes of community building and preventative healthcare.
The community education programs we run not only serve to connect us locals to one another and build knowledge, they also raise money for the clinics.
Workshops run up to several times a year based on capacity and demand. Run by volunteers, they cover nutrition, wellness, and plant medicine.
“The Zine” is made of a collection of photos, recipes, herbal monographs, essays, art etc. about health and herbs.
Community Building & Disaster Aid
At the heart of everything we do, is community.
Beyond the above, we also have community garden plots to help sustain the clinics, and we grow closer together by caring for it.
We also support communities though disaster aid, banding together to create herbal packs and kits to help those in hard times as the need arises.
