It is a weekend of inspirational and motivational speakers;
exceptional socialising events and the opportunity to

. This decision was not made lightly; however,
we need to prioritise the health and safety of the venue’s employees
and our members,
families and friends.

refunds will be
processed as soon as possible.
The Committee have already commenced plans

to.

It is our greatest pleasure to see the smiling faces of patients like Dinuli,
and their families, after receiving access to trans formative specialist surgical care 
Due to complications at birth, Dinuli sustained a brachial plexus injury,
leaving her right arm with very limited function.
After several years of little improvement,
Dinuli underwent two surgical procedures, over several years,
by both local and Interplast teams.
These surgeries have thankfully given her the ability
to now move her right arm.
Whilst Dinuli will require further surgery in the future,
she has experienced significant improvement in her range of movement
and is very motivated to
continue building strength through her daily exercises.
Thank you to Dinuli and her family for sharing their story with us
Investing in prevention and early intervention research gives children
the best opportunity for good mental health and well being.
Please consider supporting Australian Rotary Health research
