South Steyne Medical Centre would like to remind you that Australia Day is this coming Thursday the 26th of January. South Steyne Medical Centre will be closed on Thursday the 26th of January (Australia Day). We will be reopening on Friday the 27th of January.

We would like to highlight that this day means a lot of different things for all members of our community, and that we will be reflecting on this as a team.

We hope to continue to provide an inclusive and safe place for people to fully realise their health potential, and key to this is making sure that all members of our community feel culturally safe when attending our clinic.

What does World Braille Day celebrate? The birth of Louis Braille.

He is the inventor of braille which, is a method for enabling people who are blind or partially sighted to be able to read. Braille enables people who have different vision profiles to participate fully in life. From enabling people to read books to allowing them to interact with art! The Castle Sant’Elmo is a popular tourist attraction that uses braille to beautifully describe the fortress lookout which sits on top of the Italian city of Napoli.
