Who We Are & Why We’re Different
Katherine West Health Board (KWHB) is a community-led Aboriginal health service delivering integrated primary healthcare, allied health, and wellbeing programs across more than 160,000 km² of remote NT — stretching from the Victoria River country along the WA border to the tip of the Tanami desert.
Our work is grounded in cultural security, guided by community control, and driven by long-term impact. From maternal health to disability support, we build trusted relationships that lead to real outcomes for our mob in the bush.
As an Aboriginal community-controlled organisation, we value inclusion, local leadership, and purpose-driven people. We’re not your typical workplace — and we’re proud of that.
