Aboriginal Health Workers
A vital part of the primary health care team

Being an Aboriginal Health Worker is a great job.

You'll be helping people with their health.

Aboriginal Health Workers play a vital role in providing primary health care services to their communities. They are the first point of contact for many patients at an Aboriginal Medical Service. Their skills enable them to assist communities to develop healthier lifestyles and to diagnose and treat a range of common medical conditions.

Aboriginal Health Workers work in many places.

At Congress, Aboriginal Health Workers work in the clinic and on Community Health Programs. Some health workers have been invovled in research or have gone into management positions.

We're a good place to work.

Congress is an Aboriginal community controlled health service with good working environments and conditions of employment that include recreation, sick, study and special leave.

We'll train you.

The Certificate IV in Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander Primary Health Care (Practice) course is delivered over 18 months and includes training in a classroom as well as at the Congress Clinic by the Clinical Educators.

The course is free of charge and help will be offered with Abstudy and gaining scholarships.
