30 000 cycles completed!
Each one of the 30 000 cycles has contributed to the incredible reduction of scabies infections by up to 60 per cent, a crucial step in reducing the prevalence of rheumatic heart disease (RHD), a 100 per cent preventable condition in remote communities.

Recognising the bigger picture
Since 2021, Dr Gokula Chandran has been visiting our Casuarina laundry. But it’s not just to do his washing. Armed with a coffee or two, Chandran started visiting the laundry and quickly struck up a good relationship with Sam and the team, and they have been friends since.
