Our staff joined the Bankstown Aboriginal community and other stakeholders in February for the opening of a new hub which aims to support Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people who have or are at risk of developing a chronic condition, access holistic, culturally appropriate healthcare.
The Bankstown centre builds on the success of the Budyari Community Health Centre in Miller, is jointly funded by the SWSPHN and the South Western Sydney Local Health District (SWSLHD) and will be facilitated by the SWSLHD’s Aboriginal Chronic Care Program (ACCP) team.
The ACCP team is initially offering access to care coordination, podiatry and optometry services from the centre. The program also offers referrals to services provided at Budyari including specialist clinics, a dietitian, an exercise physiologist, social work and health education.
The centre is at 122 Chapel Road Bankstown.
