Galambila has been providing health services to the Aboriginal community for nearly 20 years. In 1998 it was recognised the Aboriginal people of the Coffs Harbour region needed a dedicated medical centre, without needing to travel over an hour away to access culturally appropriate services.
Starting as a GP clinic with just five staff, Galambila became independent in 2008 and we are now an Aboriginal organisation employing over 50 staff across three mid north coast locations and see around 900 patients per month.
Our goal is to improve the health of our people and the community.
