About Bega Garnbirringu Health Service

Bega Garnbirringu Health Services is an Aboriginal Controlled Health Organisation established in 1982 to provide culturally appropriate, holistic health care services. We offer clinical services, health promotion, and health education for the people of the Goldfields region, an area more than three times the size of Victoria and covering almost one third of Western Australia's total land mass. 99% of the Goldfields region is classified as very remote. Initially established for the local Aboriginal community, as demand has increased we now service a broader transient community, along with approximately 10% of our client base of other ethnicities who hold a health care card. All client consultations are bulk-billed to Medicare. The service is based in the center of Kalgoorlie-Boulder, Australia's largest outback city, located 600km from Perth. Medical services are provided not only to clients residing within the city limits but also to local and outlying communities through regular Outreach clinics operated from our two Mobile Clinics.
