First Peoples’ Health and Wellbeing is an Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Organisation that offers affordable primary healthcare services to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander People and their families in urban Melbourne.
First Peoples’ Health and Wellbeing was previously known as Access Services for Koories which was set up to improve primary health care access for First Peoples in the northwest of Melbourne. In 2018 the organisation expanded to set up a clinic in Thomastown – an area with unmet primary health care needs. To reflect this development, the organisation changed its name to First Peoples’ Health and Wellbeing. In 2019, we expanded again, opening the first Aboriginal health service on the Mornington Peninsula in Frankston.
First Peoples’ Health and Wellbeing also provides Aged Care services to Elders and Older People through CHSP funding, social support and transport services.
