Highlights of our past meeting,
13th November 2025
 
🏥 Medical Equipment / SHARE Updates
 
Rtn Jenny shared that Port Moresby General Hospital is accepting used medical equipment from Australia but only for regional hospitals.
Preparations continue for the upcoming SHARE working bee, with a huge influx of donated school uniforms and sleeping bags distributed to youth services in Melbourne.
 
🎤 Guest Speaker Peter Rourke
 
Peter gave a heartfelt talk about his journey through depression and recovery, supported by his wife and colleagues.
His initiative Project 365 uses music, community events, and education to push mental health conversations into the open, especially in industries that traditionally avoid them.
Peter encouraged us to check in with others, ask simple questions, and seek help, often beginning with a GP.
