Sydney Local Health District (SLHD) pushed ahead with the installation of the Automatic Dispensing Machine (ADM) in front of the Redfern Health Centre without mentioning it at a public meeting on January 29. In contrast to the December meeting where locals opposing the installation primarily argued their objections with representatives of SLHD, this meeting was independently facilitated and featured a more balanced discussion about the issues with many supporters of the ADM in attendance.
Sydney Local Health District (SLHD) will appoint a senior officer to act as a community liaison representative. The role has been created following requests from REDWatch and The Factory Community Centre to make the existing health services more accessible to the community.
