Leading groups and mentoring individuals will also be covered.

a Certificate 1 in Leadership

Rotary Club of Scarborough
at the club meeting

Jim Joseph introduced the guest speakers

for the day from the Telethon Institute

Dr Keely Bebbington and Dr Kiah Evans.
Kiele and Kyar then gave an overview

of how the Autism portal works

and the information that can be obtained

from its data source.

   The information included;

   Monitoring service delivery
   Categorise who uses the services
   The age and history of people in the registry
   Monitoring assessment standards
   Extacting data to assist families

and link with other registries in the world

This is a project that the Rotary Club of Scarborough

has directly funded and it was great

to see the clubs funds being put to such a good use

that can assist families and provide

ongoing valuable information

for research into the future.

Keely and Kiah then took many questions

from the audience.
Jim Joseph then thanked Keely & Kiah

for an inspiring & educational talk

on their research into Autism

and how the register will assist.

Rotary Club of Karrinyup

THE Karrinyup Community Men’s Shed is set to open

after a two-year search for a home.

The Rotary Club of Karrinyup has been trying

to establish a shed since late 2015

and steering committee member Peter Polain

said they were about to give up when the City of Stirling

identified a suitable property at the former

Balcatta Kindergarten site on Jedda Road.

“While this property is not as large as we hoped,

it is in a condition that will enable us to commence

operating very quickly,” he said.

Council approved a 12-month lease to the club

as a trial and Mr Polain hoped to show the shed was needed,

especially as the closest group,

Stirling Community Men’s Shed,

had a wait list for new members.

Under a benefactors trust and in conjunction with the North Beach RSL Sub-branch,

RC Karrinyup will sponsor two young Australians

to participate in an organised

commemorative tour of the Kokoda trek in June.

The applicants were required to demonstrate a genuine interest

in Australia’s military history.

At our meeting this week, David Singer and Drew Sweet

introduced themselves and told us why

they will embrace this gruelling undertaking

and why it holds a special significance for each of them.

Heather and Peter

Many people, and particularly Rotary Clubs

throughout Western Australia, are familiar with

RC Karrinyup's major 40th anniversay project, the Earbus,

which was designed to work in the Kimberley region of our state.

The purpose built vehicle was completed

and handed over to the Earbus Foundation in April of 2017

and has been hard at work in the Goldfields

and other areas ever since.

Under the WA Country Health Service,

the State Government has committed to providing

$2.7 million over three years to expand the Earbus program.

A key election commitment, the Earbus program,

to be delivered by the Ear Foundation WA (EFWA),

offers mobile ear health clinics to Aboriginal children

in schools, day-cares, kindergartens and playgroups

and works with local primary healthcare services

to connect the community with general practitioners

, audiologists and ear, nose and throat (ENT) specialists

without duplication.

The Earbus program is now ready

for expansion in the Kimberley, and will be acknowledged

with an official launch to be held on Friday 18 May 2018.

Ms Josie Farrer MLA, Member for Kimberley,

will be representing the Deputy Premier for the launch.

For RC Karrinyup the Earbus has finally 'come home'

to work in the land for which it was intended.
