Bulgarr Ngaru was established in Grafton in 1990 to provide Health Services to the Aboriginal communities of the Clarence Valley as a result of a Human Rights report on Aboriginal miners' exposure to Asbestos.
The Bulgarr Ngaru team is made up of more than 80 people including health professionals, clerical, and managerial staff. The organisation is a leading employer of Indigenous people in the primary health sector in the region. Clinics operate in Casino, Grafton, Maclean and Tweed Heads.
Building on their current regional network of health facilities and a significant client base, Bulgarr Ngaru has a bright future in service development and innovation.
