The Nyngan community has received a healthy boost with the completion of the $1.3 million Nyngan Medical Centre. The dividends a Medical Centre like this can create for the community, such as reducing the need for excessive travel to receive essential medical services, are immense. This new Medical Centre will improve access to crucial health services and increase the level of prevention and intervention measures available to residents. 

The Medical Centre features two general practitioners rooms, two specialist consultation rooms and a medical procedure room, reducing the need for patients to be admitted to local hospitals. An estimated 2,000 people will use this facility each year, and it will provide the town of Nyngan with the critical infrastructure it needs to grow.  The project was jointly funded by the Australian Government ($611,432), the Bogan Shire Council ($653,568), and Straits Tritton Mine ($35,000).

Helping Aussie farmers access safe and effective agvet chemicals:

The Coalition Government has announced a third round of up to $1.78 million to improve access to safe and effective agricultural and veterinary (agvet) chemicals, part of a four-year $8 million investment. The grants programme, opening on 1 August 2017 to research and development corporations, will help Australian farmers access new products and expand uses for existing chemicals.
