Since 1977, Awabakal has been providing primary health care, aged care, children and family services to Aboriginal people living throughout the Newcastle, Lake Macquarie, Port Stephens and Hunter Valley regions. Our legacy lives on through the services we provide.
Securing a stable future for our community is vital to Awabakal. The services we offer will continue to be enhanced to ensure that the needs of our community are met and the organisation can continue to grow. Our legacy will live on.
The story of Awabakal spans a number of decades and many challenges have been overcome to build the organisation to where it is today. By respecting our past, we continue to build our history. Establishing a strong organisational foundation for years to come.
The Awabakal community is the guiding force behind the work we do. This organisation has been established to provide empowerment to our Aboriginal communities and without the support of our community, we would not be where we are today.
Our Elders are the foundation of Awabakal. It is through their hard work that this organisation was brought to life, it is through their stories that we learn from our past and it is their knowledge that will guide our future.
