ABOUT KATUNGUL

About Katungul Aboriginal Corporation Regional Health and Community Services

At Katungul Aboriginal Corporation Regional Health and Community Services, we strive to work in partnership with local health services to ensure all your specific medical, dental, social and emotional wellbeing needs are satisfied to a high standard. Katungul serves communities from Eden to Batemans Bay.

HISTORY OF KATUNGUL ABORIGINAL CORPORATION REGIONAL HEALTH AND COMMUNITY SERVICES

Katungul Aboriginal Corporation Regional Health and Community Services (ACRH&CS) provides health care to the Koori people on the Far South Coast of New South Wales. It was first established when Ghuryungan, Markarling House and Narooma Community Centre – three Aboriginal communities – joined forces in 1993.

The aim of establishing Katungul Aboriginal Corporation Regional Health and Community Services – a community-controlled organisation – was to support Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities and provide culturally appropriate health care to the Koori people.

When the Narooma clinic opened its doors, the service was well received. Doctors were completely booked and Indigenous people were eager to seek treatment. The Koori people had access to their own primary health care service.

Katungul Aboriginal Corporation Regional Health and Community Services quickly expanded to meet growing demand, opening clinics in Batemans Bay and Bega. Outreach and specialist programs were also developed to serve surrounding areas and provide Aboriginal-specific health care.
