Aboriginal Health Services- Our Trusted Community Partners
Aboriginal Health Services are at the heart of our work. These trusted, community-led organisations walk alongside Aboriginal women and families every day — offering culturally safe, holistic care from pregnancy through to early parenting. At Coolamon Community, we honour their knowledge, relationships and leadership. We don’t tell them what’s needed — we listen, respond, and support. Every Coolamon is delivered by their midwives and health workers, who know exactly where it will have the greatest impact. Our role is to walk beside them, not in front.
Coolamon Community’s purpose is to make a real difference at the very start life for an Aboriginal child and for their mother.
We do this by connecting that mother with Aboriginal Health Services through the gift of “The Coolamon”.
Aboriginal Health Services provide a trusted culturally safe healthcare space for mums-to-be and their families. They provide the complete suite of health, social and community supports that mum, bub and her family need around them pre and postnatally.
