Role Title: Health Promotion Graphics
Organisation: Ear Foundation Australia
Internship Period: Summer (November - December)
Location: West Perth
Our outreach teams travel to remote communities across Australia. The team consists of an Audiologist, a Nurse and sometimes, a NP or GP. They test children’s ears and hearing. This project is to help develop our health promotion resources to spread the message about keeping ears healthy. Graphics have already been designed for a pamphlet/brochure on ‘How to make tissue spears” and “How to do a Betadine wash.” These instructions get sent home to families, or given to school nurses/teachers to continue treatments. The project is to design the information resources to get a final product for use for our teams.
The Foundation exists to support Indigenous and at-risk families and children. We share common values. The values are the non-negotiable, unchanging heart of the organisation. Our mission is to reduce the incidence of middle ear disease in Indigenous and at-risk children in Western Australia below the World Health Organization benchmark of 4%
