Preventive Health SA Event: Keith Show

Delivering over 150 FREE skin checks in Keith!

Partnering with Preventive Health SA, we had a wonderful few days in Keith, South Australia during 26th to 28th March 2026.

On Thursday and Friday the Health Hub was parked at Don Moseley Park, and partnering with the Rosemary Bryant AO Research Centre and the 600 Nurses Project we delivered free skin checks to rural community members. Whether they booked in or swung by, it was great to see so many faces and conduct important skin checks which wouldn't have otherwise happened.

We changed location on the Saturday and moved to the Keith Show, where we opened up the doors to deliver many more skin checks.

This service, which we delivered for free, would otherwise cost an individual over $300 and hours spent in a vehicle travelling to and from Adelaide. By taking the health checks to rural communities, we are giving people a reason to spend 15-20 minutes of their day with us.

And of course, we cannot do this by ourselves so the thank you's go to:

• Preventive Health SA for their support to make all of this happen,

• Professor Marion Eckert, Greg Sharplin, Kim Gibson and the Rosemary Bryant AO Research Centre team for coordinating the health checks,

• Glen Simpson and the Keith Show Committee for backing us to be part of the Keith Revved Up Show, and

• Tatiara District Council for allowing us to park the Health Hub at Don Mosely Park.

It was also great to catch up with Kim Bigg from Perks, one of our Platinum Sponsors, as well as Tony Pasin MP, Member for Barker, in which we have many of our groups situated (South East, Riverland, and Mid Murray area).
