Mission Statement

The Puntukurnu Aboriginal Medical Service (PAMS) aims to provide the highest standard of patient care whilst incorporating a holistic approach toward diagnosis and management of illness.

The scope of the term ‘holistic' includes the development, promotion and maintenance of the physical, spiritual, social, economic and cultural well-being ‘of all our indigenous people'.

Our health team as part of PAMS exist to promote the health and well-being of individual community members and to relieve sickness and the suffering of the indigenous community as a whole.

Inherent to this philosophy is the principle that indigenous people must be able to determine and control all aspects of change and decision making at all levels of health care, ensuring that as individuals they are provided with information that enables them to make informed choices, not only for individuals care, but for collective health care within their community.

Core Values

We are Community Focussed: We have a deep awareness and understanding of the needs and aspirations of others. We walk alongside others to uncover strengths and talents, build community and advocate for social justice.

We are Community Controlled: We are responsive to Community need and we have the capacity to act and to influence because we are connected to and are a trusted member of the community.

We are Transparent: We recognise the need to be responsible in the manner in which we expend funds and are accountable to both our funders and the community.
We are Inclusive: We are non-judgmental, non-discriminatory and accepting of all people.

We are leaders: We are determined, while working with others, to stand courageously for our beliefs.
