We offer a range of services that are designed to deliver health programs in a holistic and culturally appropriate manner.

In the coming months our clinic extension will be completed, and with the changes in office space we will be setting up a client gym, exercise area and massage services. We currently run an aboriginal 'LIFE' program and smoking cessation clinic.
The additional session hours we need covering are:
Monday 9.00 – 12.30
Tuesday 9.00 – 12.30 (full day may be available)
Thursday 9.00 – 12.30 (full day may be available)
Friday 9.00 – 12.30

Our organisation provides cultural awareness training for all non-indigenous staff, and has a very supportive work environment. We would welcome anyone who might be interested in the job to come and visit our medical clinic.
