Kakadu healthy skin campaign a huge success

Red Lily Health, with staff from Northern Territory Government Health and Jabiru Catholic Care came together this week to deliver the important message of healthy skin and having a scabies free zone in Kakadu communities. 

The One Disease small grant and donated items from Jabiru Puma Service Station, Gundjeihmi Aboriginal Corporation, and Top End Health Service allowed Red Lily to arrange important educational packs which were distributed to residents of Kakadu communities during the educational promotion of healthy skin this week.
Project Officer Denise House commented that even with the disruption of COVID-19, the educational delivery of healthy skin was a huge success. 
“The aim was to promote and alert people in the community about what is scabies, how to recognise if they have scabies, how to prevent the spread of scabies and the overall importance of having healthy skin, and I couldn’t be happier with how successful this message was delivered.” 
Denise further continued by stating that regular online team training on scabies and healthy skin assisted the Healthy Skin team in delivering a clear, precise and consistent message about scabies and the importance of healthy skin.
