Our Programs

Derby Aboriginal Health Service delivers a range of community programs designed to support the health and wellbeing of Aboriginal people and families across Derby and the West Kimberley.

These programs focus on prevention, early support, and strengthening the social and emotional wellbeing of individuals, families and communities. By working closely with local people and organisations, our programs respond to the needs and priorities of the community.

Our programs cover a broad range of areas including healthy lifestyles, family support, early childhood development, cancer care, counselling services, and support for Elders. Through education, outreach and practical assistance, our teams help people build knowledge, confidence and healthier futures.

Many of our programs are delivered in partnership with other services and community organisations to ensure people can access the right support at the right time. This collaborative approach helps strengthen connections between health care, families and the wider community.

Through these initiatives, we aim to empower individuals and families with the tools, knowledge and support needed to live healthy, safe and fulfilling lives.
