Keeping Mob Healthy Together!

CTG Aboriginal Health

Keeping our community strong starts with protecting each other — and immunisation is one of the simplest and most effective ways to do that. 💉

Staying up to date with your vaccinations helps protect our mums, bubs, kids, our Elders, and those most vulnerable. It also means fewer sick days, stronger families, and safer communities for everyone.

If you’re unsure about your vaccine schedule or want to book an appointment, reach out to your Local AMS — we’re here to help.

🌸 Cervical Cancer Awareness Week 🌸

This week, we shine a light on the importance of cervical cancer awareness and the life-saving benefits of early screening. Regular screenings can detect potential issues before they become serious, and it’s something every woman should consider. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women are at higher risk of cervical cancer, but it’s largely preventable.

💜 Take Charge of Your Health 💜

If you're due for a cervical screening or simply want to learn more, we’re here to support you. Book an appointment at one of our Aboriginal Medical Services and speak to a professional about how you can protect your health. Early detection makes all the difference.
