Located at Dapto, Princes Highway, 130, our medical service is easily accessible to the community. We are committed to delivering culturally appropriate care and ensuring that our patients receive the best possible treatment.

As we embark on this journey, we would like to acknowledge and pay our respects to the traditional custodians of the land on which we work and live. We also extend our gratitude to the Elders, both past and present, who have paved the way for us. We recognize the importance of nurturing the next generation and acknowledge the children and young people of today who will become the Elders of tomorrow.
