Self Determined Yolŋu.

At Miwatj Health, we facilitate Yolŋu people across East Arnhem Land to assume control over their health. Culturally appropriateness and community control underpin everything we do.

Miwatj Health provides comprehensive primary health care services, including acute care, mental health and wellbeing and allied health programs.

Our clinics are staffed by General Practitioners, Remote Area Nurses, Aboriginal Health Practitioners and Aboriginal Community Workers, and a range of business support staff. Our clinics are Australia General Practice Accreditation Limited (AGPAL) accredited.

Miwatj clinics in Zone 2 provide emergency and on-call response and are supported by Care Flight for medical evacuations. The Commonwealth Government fund visiting allied health services to Miwatj communities and specialist outreach is provided by NT Health. 

In addition to our Miwatj clinical services, acute care and preventive care, we have a range of population, public health and research programs which address community health literacy and the underlying causes of illness.

Today, half of our Miwatj workforce are Yolŋu, however, we also depend on health professionals from elsewhere who work together with our Yolŋu staff, and the wider community.
