Services > Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander Health

At 7Springs Medical Practice, we are committed to providing high-quality healthcare services to all members of our community, including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. Our practice is located in the heart of Toowoomba and our team of experienced doctors and nurses work to provide comprehensive and culturally appropriate care to our patients.

We understand that Indigenous Australians often face unique health challenges and we are dedicated to ensuring that our services meet the specific needs of our Indigenous patients. Our team works closely with local Indigenous health services and community organizations to provide holistic care that addresses the social and cultural factors that impact the health and wellbeing of our patients.

Our practice offers a range of services to support the health of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, including:

• Chronic Disease Management: Indigenous Australians experience higher rates of chronic disease than non-Indigenous Australians. At 7Springs Medical Practice, we provide comprehensive care and support for patients with chronic conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, and asthma.
• Health Checks: Regular health checks are an important part of maintaining good health and preventing chronic disease. Our team provides tailored health checks for Indigenous patients, including the Indigenous Health Check and the Medicare Health Assessment for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander People.
• Mental Health Support: Indigenous Australians also experience higher rates of mental health issues such as depression and anxiety. Our practice offers confidential and culturally appropriate mental health support to our Indigenous patients, including counseling and referrals to specialist mental health services.
• Maternal and Child Health: Our team provides comprehensive maternal and child health services, including antenatal care, postnatal care, and child health checks. We understand the importance of early intervention and support for Indigenous mothers and their children to ensure the best possible health outcomes.
• Cultural Safety: We are committed to providing a safe and welcoming environment for our Indigenous patients. Our team undergoes regular cultural awareness training to ensure that our services are respectful and responsive to the needs of our patients.

At 7Springs Medical Practice, we are proud to be a part of the movement towards closing the gap in Indigenous health outcomes. We understand that improving Indigenous health requires a holistic and collaborative approach and we are committed to working with our patients, their families, and the wider community to achieve this goal.
