AFTER several months of refurbishment, GV Health has reopened the Minya Barmah Room for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander patients, families, carers and community members.
The Minya Barmah Room is located at the Shepparton Hospital and provides a culturally safe space for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community members to have a cuppa and a yarn with Aboriginal Liaison Officers, whilst accessing services or supporting loved ones who are receiving care at GV Health.
The new colour pallet for the room reflects natural colours across the Goulburn Valley landscape.
The acoustic panels incorporate a design by Wiradjuri Artist, Amanda Hinkelmann and the furniture has been procured from Winya Indigenous Commercial Furniture.
The Minya Barmah Room is open daily from 8.30am to 5pm.
