Since December 2024, we’ve welcomed on-site physiotherapy and pharmacy support, and in February 2025, we introduced free Hearing Clinics through Your Way Kia Roha, offering not only hearing tests but also assistance navigating many funding for hearing aids and other support devices. Our patient base has grown by nearly 500, and enrolments remain open. We’ve continued our partnership with Christchurch Women’s Hospital to offer barrier-free access to colposcopy services for wahine, now extended through 2025.
