Holistic health care for our mob

We are committed to working closely with local Indigenous communities to better understand their unique needs and challenges, and to develop targeted programs and services that are culturally appropriate and effective.

By promoting health and wellness, the Illawarra Aboriginal Medical Service hope to empower individuals and families to lead happy, fulfilling lives and contribute to the strength and vitality of our community as a whole.
