“The clinic supports any of us at any time. - that’s how caring these people are.”
Community Health
The health and well-being of our tangata whaiora is our priority. We provide a variety of health services across Te Waipounamu, including:
Community Health & Hepatitis C Service in Ōtautahi Christchurch
A mobile, peer-led hepatitis C screening and treatment service operating throughout Te Waipounamu
Weekly Nurse Practitioner Service at our Ōtautahi Christchurch needle exchange
Weekly Health Service at our Ōtepoti Dunedin needle exchange
We’re here to support people who inject or use drugs, advocating for harm reduction and providing a trusted, non-judgmental front door to services.
Healthcare for Kaewa
DISC Trust runs a weekly health clinic in Christchurch for people experiencing homelessness (kaewa). Clinical Nurse Lead, Leah, shares how they create a safe space for kaewa to discuss their health concerns and ask questions in this short video. The programme is run with our partners, Housing First Ōtautahi.
