Community Notice – Sponsorship Update

To our community, partners and local organisations,

The Durri ACMS Board of Directors have made the decision to cease all sponsorships until further notice, as we move into a major capital works project to refurbish and upgrade across Durri ACMS.

This is not a decision we’ve made lightly. Sponsorship is something we’ve always been proud to support because we know how important sport, culture, community events and grassroots organisations are to our people and our region.

However, with significant refurbishment works underway, our priority right now must be ensuring Durri remains strong, safe and sustainable — so we can continue delivering high quality, culturally safe health care for our community now and into the future.

We appreciate everyone’s understanding and patience during this period, and we will provide updates as the project progresses. Once we are in a position to review sponsorship again, we will let the community know.

Thank you for your continued support of Durri ACMS — while we build for the future.

🖤💛❤️ Always for community. Always for our people.
