The staff at KWC are keen to share their skills and assist with any photocopying requirements you may have. There is a nominal charge of 10 cents for each copy.

Pregnancy Tests

KWC provides a free pregnancy testing service. The test must be done at the Centre by a Centre Worker. Their training ensures that they are aware of confidentiality issues and will treat any requests for tests discreetly and with respect. They are also able to assist in exploring options and providing information after a test.

KWC is very grateful to Coastal Medical Rooms for their assistance in providing the resources for this service.
