Miwatj Health Aboriginal Corporation was established in 1992. It is an independent, Aboriginal-controlled health service administered by a Board of Directors representing communities across the Miwatj region in East Arnhem Land.
The Miwatj Health logo represents the Miwatj people of East Arnhem Land. The dolphins represent the Dhuwa moiety clans and the tern the Yirritja moiety.
Miwatj Health has its administrative
base in the town of Nhulunbuy, in the Northern Territory of
Australia. Our clinics are located in Nhulunbuy, Gunyangara
(also known as Marngarr) and Galiwin’ku, providing a walk-in
service for all acute and preventive care needs. In addition
to these fixed clinics, our outreach teams provide a regular
visiting service to a number of nearby communities including
Birritjimi, Galupa, Gunyangara, Garrathiya Plains, Yirrkala,
and within the Galiwin’ku community.
