AbSec is proud to spotlight the Deadly Practice at Orange Aboriginal Medical Service (OAMS), a shining example of what it means to deliver culturally safe, holistic care through an Aboriginal Community-Controlled Health Organisation (ACCHO).
This Deadly Practice focuses on:
Founded and incorporated in 2004 on Wiradjuri Country, the Orange Aboriginal Medical Service (OAMS) opened its clinic doors in 2 005 with five staff and a mission: to deliver accessible, culturally safe healthcare to the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities of Central Western New South Wales. Guided by the principle of caring ‘from the cradle to the dreaming’, OAMS and its dedicated staff support families through integrated, strengths-based services that uplift health, wellbeing, and cultural connection.
Deadly Practice is all about acknowledging and supporting every effort that contributes to the wellbeing and safety of our communities. Come join us and help make a lasting difference for our children, young people, and families.
AbSec know that strong partnerships with our communities are essential to creating real change for Aboriginal children and families. If you have questions about Deadly Practice or want to explore how you can get involved, we’d love to hear from you.
