Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Services are not just improving health outcomes – they are helping drive the Kimberley economy.

At the recent Kimberley Economic Forum, KAMS and Kimberley Renal Services (KRS) CEO Vicki O'Donnell shared how the community-controlled sector is creating jobs, supporting local businesses, growing the regional workforce, delivering nationally recognised research, and investing back into the communities they serve.

Together, KAMS, KRS and our eight Member Services are:

• Employing hundreds of people across the Kimberley.
• Reinvesting millions of dollars into local communities, businesses and infrastructure.
• Creating pathways for Aboriginal employment, leadership and workforce development.
• Delivering innovative research that is influencing health care nationally.
• Reinvesting every dollar back into services, infrastructure and community benefit.

Strong Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Services do more than improve health outcomes. They strengthen local economies, create opportunity and help build a resilient and prosperous future for the Kimberley.

Thank you to the Derby Chamber of Commerce for the opportunity to be part of this important conversation, and to everyone working together to shape the future of our region.

🎉 Congratulations to Our KAMS Graduates! 🎉

A huge congratulations to Pepita Hunter and Michael McKenzie, who have successfully completed the Building the First Nations VET Workforce Program and graduated with their Certificate IV in Training and Assessment.

The graduation ceremony was held in Brisbane on Wednesday, 28 July, recognising graduates from across Australia who have completed this important program.

Led by NACCHO, delivered by MRWED Training and Assessment, and supported by Aboriginal Community Controlled Registered Training Organisations (RTOs), the program equips participants from health, early childhood, aged care, disability, community services and other sectors to return to their organisations as qualified trainers and assessors, strengthening the First Nations workforce.

The graduation ceremony was attended by The Hon. Andrew Giles MP and Donella Mills, celebrating the achievements of this outstanding cohort.

Congratulations Pepita and Michael on this fantastic milestone. Your dedication to building knowledge, skills and capacity within our communities will have a lasting impact. 👏💙

It was great to meet with the Kimberley Aboriginal Medical Services - KAMS team alongside Minister Stephen Dawson MLC at the brand new KAMS building in Broome.

We heard about the important work of the Kimberley Aboriginal Regional Governance Group (ARGG), an Aboriginal-led partnership that brings communities and government together to develop local solutions that reflect the priorities and needs of people across the Kimberley.

We also received an update on the Kimberley Aboriginal Youth Wellbeing Steering Committee and the progress being made to strengthen support and create better opportunities for young Aboriginal people across our region.

Working together for better outcomes in the Kimberley.

It was great to get an update on the Kimberley Aboriginal Reference Group with Divina D’Anna - Member for Kimberley. It was also good to check out the Kimberley Aboriginal Medical Service’s new building.

The ARGG is an Aboriginal-led partnership bringing community and government together to deliver culturally appropriate place-based solutions for community across the Kimberley.

We discussed progress on the Kimberley Aboriginal Youth Well Being Steering Committee and opportunities on how we can all work together to support better outcomes for Aboriginal youth.

Strong partnerships and local leadership, leading to better outcomes for Kimberley communities.
