A good walk making sure I got my 10,000 steps yesterday got me to Ipswich, Queensland, and on the doorstep of Kambu Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Corporation for Health.
Kambu Health is a great example of a community working to meet its own needs. Starting out as a single room in a community member’s house, Kambu has grown to service two clinics – one in Ipswich, the other in Laidley – and employ over 100 staff to provide comprehensive medical and specialist services, including allied health, adult and child health checks, and a visiting cardiologist once a month, to Ipswich and surrounding areas.
In addition Kambu also offers transportation assistance, school health checks, mens group, family wellbeing services, midwifery and other useful services.
If you’re Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander and living in the Ipswich or West Moreton region, Kambu’s got your health needs covered. Find out more through their website: https://kambuhealth.com.au/
