Wound Healing Service
We are dedicated to improving quality of life for people in the community with chronic wounds. The service is operated by a Nurse Practitioner, Registered Nurse, Community Development Worker and a team of researchers.
Wounds may occur on any part of the body and some wounds take a long time to heal, or reoccur on a regular basis. The significant pain and immobility of chronic wounds can interfere with a person's quality of life.

- comprehensive assessments, including early assessments for wound prevention
- cost-effective and evidence-based wound treatments
- interventions
- strategies to help prevent wound recurrence
- ongoing support
- education to promote healthy living and wound improvement.
The wounds we treat include:

- non-healing surgical wounds.
No referral is necessary to attend the clinic.
