We work with anyone who requires our services, regardless of circumstances, or ability to pay.  We prioritise access to those who face obstacles to getting health services tailored to their needs.  Through a single point of contact, you can connect to a full spectrum of care and support using consistent approaches.

Our Aboriginal Health Team can assist all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people of all ages. We help and support Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people prevent and better manage their chronic health conditions. We can help you access a wide range of health and community services, in a culturally supportive way.

The Aboriginal Community Lounge is a culturally safe ‘drop in’ space for the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and their families. Located at the IPC Health, Wyndham Vale campus, the Lounge is available Monday – Friday, during office hours. Contact the Aboriginal Health team for more information.
