Ungooroo have opened a new purpose-built Specialist Hub in the Singleton Centre, giving the community direct access to services that have historically required long travel times.

The facility has been delivered with support from the Federal Government and Glencore, and sits next to Ungooroo’s existing clinic. The hub aims to provide culturally safe, local specialist care for First Nations people while also supporting the wider Singleton and Hunter communities.

Ungooroo CEO Taasha Layer says the hub represents a major step forward in strengthening local healthcare options and ensuring families can access support closer to home.

"When specialists are so far away, many people delay getting care because of the time and travel involved. So we built the hub to bring care closer to home and make access easier for communities across the Upper Hunter," she said.

We want to make sure your patients and the people you support receive the best possible care.

To help us do this, and support continuity of care, we ask that all enquiries and referrals are sent to the relevant shared mailbox rather than to individual team members.

Using the shared mailbox means emails are seen and actioned and won’t be missed if someone is away.

Thanks for helping us take care of our community.
