Ngak Min Health

Welcome to Ngak Min Health, a leading health institution located in Gordonvale, Australia. Our establishment is dedicated to providing comprehensive and holistic healthcare services to the students and families of Djarragun College.

At Ngak Min Health, we are committed to closing the gap in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health outcomes. Our primary healthcare model focuses on delivering culturally appropriate and responsive services to ensure the wellbeing of our community. We strive to ensure that every student at Djarragun College's Gordonvale Campus and Cape York Girl Academy Campus receives their annual cycle of preventative health care activities.

In addition to offering quality healthcare, our institution provides access to early identification and targeted support for social emotional wellbeing and mental health. We understand the importance of addressing mental health concerns and strive to provide optimal care in this area.

The name "Ngak Min" holds significant meaning in the western Cape York language of Wik Mungkan, as it translates to "healthy water." Just as Elders would welcome visitors onto Country by placing water from the land on their heads, we aim to prevent, protect, and heal, just like the water of the land.

Our team at Ngak Min Health consists of highly skilled healthcare professionals and allied health professionals. This includes general practitioners, a nurse practitioner, an Aboriginal health worker, registered nurses, social and emotional wellbeing counselors, and mental health clinical professionals. Together, we offer a range of services and supports for preventative early intervention, chronic conditions, and social and emotional wellbeing.

Since 2019, our focus has been on tackling the health gap experienced by First Nations people. Located on a college campus, we aim to reduce inequalities in health outcomes by promoting health-seeking behavior and empowering students and families to make informed decisions about their own health.

We operate from Monday to Thursday, 8:00 am to 4:00 pm, and our address is 1 Maher Road, Gordonvale, Queensland, Australia. You can reach us at (07) 4043 3799 to book an appointment or for any inquiries.

At Ngak Min Health, we are dedicated to providing the highest standard of healthcare and ensuring the wellbeing of our community. Join us in our mission to create a healthier future for all.
