Other highlights included an Age Pension Calculator, an electronic tool which provides an estimation of one’s Age Pension; screening for diabetes and hypertension; and weight and height analysis. The timely health screening checks were very ably administered by student nurses from both the Clarence Fitzroy Bryant College and the International University of Nursing.
