Durri Aboriginal Medical Service

Durri Aboriginal Corporation Medical Service is an Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Service established in 1976 in Kempsey, on the traditional land of the Dunghutti people. The name Durri, meaning “to grow in good health”, was chosen by the local Aboriginal community. The service is dedicated to improving the health outcomes of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities it serves by providing holistic and culturally appropriate primary health care.

The service provides a comprehensive range of primary health care services. These are accessible to patients upon referral from a General Practitioner at the facility. The organisation is committed to delivering care that respects and acknowledges the cultural identity and needs of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in the Macleay and Nambucca Valleys.

Patients have access to a variety of medical and support programmes. These include care coordination, health assessments, and integrated team care to manage health needs effectively. The service also facilitates numerous allied health and specialist clinics, ensuring a wide spectrum of health care is available to its registered patients.
