Alexandra Events

The Murrindindi Mobile Health Van has definitely been putting in some miles lately.

In February we're seeing the van travelling to Highlands, Fawcett, Yarck, Terip Terip, Yea, Alexandra, and more! That's 17x days on the road this month.

And it's all thanks to Yea & District Memorial Hospital, Alexandra District Health, CGP Mansfield, and NP Onthe Run Healthcare who have been delivering a huge range of health outreach services.

🚐 Alexandra District Health is heading back to Terip Terip!
We’ll be visiting in the brand new Murrindindi Mobile Health Van, bringing care closer to our community.
Our registered nurse and counselling team will be on board offering:
✔️ Free blood pressure checks
✔️ Wound care
✔️ Health information and support
✔️ A friendly face and a chat
📍 Terip Terip Tennis Club
🗓️ Thursday 19th February
⏰ 1pm – 3pm
If you’re in the area, please drop by. We’d love to see you and support your health and wellbeing.

The Alexandra Hay Depot has now closed. Any future donations of hay will be sent directly to farm.

We’d really like to recognise the team at the Alexandra Hay Depot. Over the past month, they’ve helped coordinate the distribution of around 10,000 bales of hay to fire-affected farmers right across Murrindindi, which is no small feat. While Andrew Embling and Matt Ellis are the names on the gate, there’s been a huge behind-the-scenes team keeping the wheels turning.

We’ll inevitably miss some people, but special thanks to Trevor and Jake Armstrong; Andrew and Lachie Armstrong; Chloe, Ben and Sam from the Sabre Pastoral crew; Bruce and Alison Steuart; Nikki Embling; the Lions Club of Alexandra; Larry Fallon; Emily Salmon and Jay Rossely; Thornton General Store; Chrissie and Bailey Heath; Warren Davies; the Dame Pattie Menzies Centre; Simpsons Fuel; Murrindindi Shire Council; and many others who have helped move, sort, and deliver hay and other donations... or just keep the wheels turning in general.

More importantly, we also need to thank the hundreds of Victorian (and further afield) farmers, truck drivers, businesses and individuals who have generously donated and transported hay to the region. Some special mention needs to go to Need for Feed Australia, Jye Savage, Lions Club of Marysville, Victorian Farmers Federation, the crew from St Arnaud, to name a few... but to everyone who has donated and transported hay we say a massive thank you.

This was community at its best... practical help, quiet leadership, and people showing up for one another when it really matters.

Excited to see the Murrindindi Mobile Health Van visit Strath Creek an Flowerdale today!

Thanks for the fantastic writeup ABC News. It was such a privilege to be able to launch the Murrindindi Mobile Health Van in early January, and our responsibility to deploy it as needed across the Murrindindi Shire just a few days later in the aftermath of the January 2026 bushfires.

This only happened with the amazing support of our partners and local health providers! It's been a fantastic community-led initiative.

We look forward to seeing the van on the road across the Murrindindi Shire almost daily over the coming months.

Health van pivots to fire recovery day after launch The community-funded health van is staffed by doctors and nurses who travel to remote towns to provide care at people's doorsteps.

We're going to sound like your mother for a sec, but 'get your skin checked'!!!

It's quick. It's easy. It's at the Yea Saleyards on Friday.

Chances are that you get some peace of mind that you're perfectly healthy. Alternatively, jumping on that "ugly mole" earlier rather than later is always a good thing.

This Friday 6 February 2026 at the Yea Saleyards
Skin Checks – Check, Freeze, Incisions & Pathology Service
Health checks will be on a walk up basis from 9am.

The Murrindindi and Mitchell Shire Councils have kindly offered to cover the costs of "Free Canteen" at the Saleyards this Friday, as Bush Recovery support to the local community.

Also available, resources and support for :
➡ Bushfire Relief & Recovery Assistance
➡ Mental Health Support

This is a partnership initiative between Yea & District Memorial Hospital , the Murrindindi Shire Council , Alexandra Events and the Yea Saleyards Committee of Management.

Come down and see Dr Rosie Radford and Nurse Lee at the Murrindindi Mobile Health Van today, between now and 2pm at Rotary Park.

Whether you’re an existing patient or new, feel free to walk in and chat today.

Thanks to CGP Mansfield!
