SWITCH OFF 8:30pm local time Saturday 22 March 2025 Earth Hour has grown to become much more than switching your lights off, but that iconic switch-off moment is still an important part of Earth Hour. Millions of participants around the world will switch off their lights at 8:30 pm local time on Saturday 22nd March to demonstrate their support of the environment. This action is symbolic and is not an action to save power. We know it will take so much more than an hour of turning our lights out to have a measurable impact on climate change, but the action helps to bring greater awareness to the issue and demonstrates your commitment to help protect the planet – both during and beyond Earth Hour. Together, let's create the Biggest Hour for Earth! Earth Hour is at 8:30pm local time Saturday 22 March 2025. #KambuHealth #EarthHour

The CEO also stated that anyone can send their resume to HR@kambuhealth.com.au Kambu Health is and will always remain committed to employing local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, Kambu Health expects the best and if you work for us, you will be expected to deliver service quality. The discussions also included the current renovations, the Elders group which remains very positive for all Elders, how the Elders can be more engaged with regards to receiving the newsletter and being informed on all Kambu Health activities, several ideas were discussed. The Gala Ball was also discussed, in particular that in 2025 tickets for Elders would be significantly reduced. A huge thank you to our members who attended, shared their feedback, and engaged in meaningful discussions.
