CELEBRATING TWENTY FIVE YEARS OF SERVICE TO THE COMMUNITIES BY
WALGETT ABORIGINAL MEDICAL SERVICE CO-OPERATIVE LIMITED (WAMS)

Commencing Monday, 11th through to Friday, 15th of April 2011

WAMS commenced in 1986 and delivers Primary Health Care programs to remote towns across Brewarrina, Walgett, New England and Castlereagh Shires. It became the first Aboriginal Health organisation in New South Wales to achieve dual accreditation in 1998 with Quality Improvement Council (organisation) and GPA Plus (Doctors surgeries).

As WAMS reach this significant milestone, we are asking for past Directors, employees and acquaintances to join us in our celebration. The celebration will recognise the strengths and tenacity of our community, our people, and ability to survive and thrive.

Should you wish to attend, it’s time to book your accommodation. Should you want to participate as part of the entertainment, we would be keen to hear from you.

We are planning to conduct a wide range of community and cultural activities including: family entertainment for all age groups, musicians, dancing, street performers, cultural feast, arts and craft exhibitions.

Most importantly; it is an opportunity to re-kindle friendships!

A Message from the CEO

"Celebrating gives an individual a time to reflect, to appreciate, and to be grateful for the successes and to also recall and be humble for rising to the challenges of the professional and personal barriers that have been placed along the road as we gather to savour this auspicious occasion

WAMS are celebrating for two main reasons;

One - is to thank our clients and our community who are the foundation of our operations and our partners from a local to a national level who support us each day to ensure we provide a quality health care service

The second reason - is to recognise the efforts of the staff and the Directors who have all worked together since 1986 as WAMS now celebrate this sliver anniversary

For Aboriginal people - such a milestone of existence is a major accomplishment in surviving both the State and Commonwealth governments political changes around the livelihood for Aboriginal affairs and Aboriginal Health"
