Our Directors, Pat, Rebecca and Sandra, recently represented Great Southern Aboriginal Medical Service (GSAMS) at the Aboriginal Health Council of Western Australia (AHCWA) Conference in Perth.

The conference provided a valuable opportunity to connect with Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Organisations from across the State, share knowledge and strengthen partnerships that support better health outcomes for Aboriginal communities.

We extend our sincere thanks to AHCWA for generously providing the conference tickets and for hosting such an important and inspiring event.
