Company Description:

Central Coast NSW Medicare Local (CCNSWML) is an independent not for profit organisation representing general practice and other primary health care in local communities and provide patients with better access to healthcare.

The Guri Wagir Aboriginal Health Program aims to contribute to closing the gap in life expectancy for Aboriginal Australians by improving access to culturally sensitive primary care services.  Mainstream primary care provides a first point of call for health services in Australia, however, cultural barriers can limit usage of these services by Aboriginal Australians.  Increasing the capacity of mainstream primary care to provide culturally sensitive services for Aboriginal Australians will increase the options available for Aboriginal Australians.
