Orange Aboriginal Medical Service (OAMS) is a vital healthcare provider dedicated to improving the health and well-being of Aboriginal families and the broader community in Central Western NSW. Established in 2005 with a small team, OAMS has since grown to operate across 5 locations, offering a comprehensive range of services to meet the diverse needs of the community. OAMS acknowledges and honors the Wiradjuri people, recognizing their custodianship of the traditional lands on which the facilities are situated.
With a strong commitment to cultural respect and community engagement, OAMS provides a wide array of services including primary health care, visiting specialists, regional dental services, NDIS programs, out-of-home care services, and allied health screening. The organization’s expansion over the years reflects its dedication to meeting the evolving healthcare needs of the community. OAMS’ philosophy is rooted in the belief that health services should be accessible, culturally sensitive, and tailored to the unique requirements of Aboriginal individuals and families.
Looking ahead, OAMS continues to innovate and expand its offerings, with plans to establish a hydrotherapy program pool for physiotherapy and exercise physiology services. The organization’s ongoing growth and development underscore its unwavering commitment to providing high-quality healthcare services that prioritize the well-being of the Aboriginal community. Through its various initiatives and programs, OAMS remains a cornerstone of health and wellness in the region, embodying a spirit of inclusivity, empowerment, and cultural pride.
