Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Women’s Wellbeing Program

A welcoming and culturally safe program designed to meet the individual needs of Aboriginal women in all aspects of their lives including their health, personal wellbeing, family matters, social connections and culture.

Women moving into the area are always welcome and the program can assist them to get to know other local women as well as providing other supports.

The GCH Aboriginal Primary Health Worker can help people with their health management including care planning, attending appointments, accessing aged care support (over 55 years) and seeking help from other health services and professionals. Often assistance is needed for other aspects of life including family matters, living arrangements, education, personal wellbeing and social connections. The GCH Aboriginal Primary Health Worker can also help find the right service and support as required by each individual.

Program participants meet regularly for social activities in Halls Gap and newcomers are always welcome.
