TRAINEES RECEIVE GRADUATION CERTIFICATES

Our eleven Primary Health Care Worker trainees received their graduation certificates at TAFE on the 23rd February and it was a very proud moment for not only them but for all of Maari Ma.

Their certificates were for the study component of the course which they co mpleted last year. They still have until August 2011 to finish their practical training.

The group is the first in New South Wales to have a 100 per-cent completion rate of the course - Certificate IV Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Primary Health (Practice).
