Sister Cameron Infant Health Centre

Sister Doris Cameron commenced duties as Infant Health Sister in 1948 using the C.W.A. rooms once a week and travelling an area bound by Mullewa, Latham, Coorow, and Dongara. Mothers requiring assistance at home signalled by draping a baby’s nappy on their farm gate along the sister’s route. The Sister Cameron Infant Health Centre was built in Phillip street and opened in 1957 in recognition of her dedicated service. A public farewell was held in August 1962 on the retirement of ”Cam” as she was affectionately called. This building presently serves the community as a Day Care facility.
