From a room in Doreen Thompson’s house, our community received culturally appropriate health care by doctors who travelled from the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Community Health Service in Brisbane, once a week.
Today, Kambu Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Corporation for Health employs over 100 people, providing comprehensive medical, specialist, allied and social health services and a range of early childhood, family and community care programs to the Ipswich and West Moreton Regions, with multiple sites in Ipswich, and Laidley, including Kambu Amaroo Kindergarten and Kambu Amaroo Long Day Care Centre.
