General
information
- Pika Wiya
was incorporated under the SA Health Commission Act of 1975 and
the constitution was signed on 12th November 1986, however in 2008
the Minister of Health announced an intention to introduce
legislation to change the governance arrangements for country
hospitals and health centres.
- This meant
that under the new legislation Pika Wiya Health Service (PWHS)
would operate under Country Health South Australia (CHSA) with a
local health advisory council (HAC) being elected from members of
the community that replaces the previous Board of Management.
- It is planned that from 1st July
2011 the Pika Wiya Health Service would operate independently as a
Non Government Organisation (NGO) that is Community Controlled and
that governance would come via a new constitution with a newly
elected Board of Management in control of the organisation.
- A video produced in the 1990's
called "Everybody's Kids" depicts 3 stories about
Child Protection and runs for a duration of 24 minutes.
This video can be purchased from Pika Wiya for $35.00 (includes
postage anywhere in Australia).
- Our conference room can be hired
for a small fee, and you are able to book this room by
contacting Pika Wiya Administration.
- If you would like a copy of the
Aboriginal Health Worker Medicines / Pharmacy Lectures CD-Rom
produced in conjunction with the Port Augusta Hospital, just
contact the Pika Wiya Health Service Administration Section. The CD-Rom is a
facilitators edition and is for use by pharmacists, doctors and
nurses.
