Karli Health Centre Services also offers
Deaf Bushwalking Victoria in Auslan – Karli Health Centre believes strongly in the interconnectedness of physical and mental health and that good physical and mental health builds a strong, resilient spirit. And the Deaf Bushwalking group was a wonderful way to put some of our beliefs into actual practice. Please contact us to find out more.
Deaf Group Work – Karli Health Centre offers has some groups face-to-face and some groups online. Some groups may be residential, allowing complete and intensive focus in a retreat type environment. Do you have an idea for a group? Let us know!
Groups are in Auslan, so no interpreter. Some people who join groups can use their NDIS funds to pay for the cost.
Deaf Aware GP – Do you have questions that are not really answered properly by your own local GP and do you feel you want to take control of your health, but feel powerless?
Dr Leonora White is a GP (family doctor) in the eastern suburbs of Melbourne. She has worked in a variety of jobs in hospitals, both in rural Victoria and Melbourne. She usually sees people with all sorts of problems – mental illness, women’s health, men’s health, children and babies with illnesses or behavioural problems, chronic disease, and preventative health.
Many years ago she decided to learn Auslan because she thought it looked like a fascinating language. Dr Leonora has made a series of short video clips in Auslan, you can have a look at them on Leonora’s Youtube channel. They were made between 2015-2017.
You can contact KHC for more information or you can go to the Ashburton Medical Clinic online booking system to make an appointment to see Dr Leonora. Appointments can be either face-to-face or on Telehealth. Please note, if you live in another state, there cannot be a Telehealth Medicare rebate. This means you will pay the full cost yourself.

Deaf Yoga – Karli Health Centre originally began as a centre for yoga and wellness. Karli still has a private Facebook group for Auslan video clips and for yoga discussion. You can request to join her Deaf Yoga Facebook group.
