Our General Practitioners here at Galambila work closely with Aboriginal Health Workers to provide culturally relevant primary health care for the Gumbaynggirr community.
All our GP services are bulk billed. Which means you’re not out of pocket as our doctors’ bill Medicare directly.
Our GPs provide preventative health advice and arrange treatment for illness and disease using information from your medical assessment and tests, and medical guidelines and evidence.
Medical services provided by our GPs include:
Mental health assessment & care plans
Minor medical procedures
Sexual health checks
Asthma management
Referrals to Allied Health & Specialists
Preventative health checks and advice
Once a month we have our Diabetes Clinic. Our team, comprised of a GP, Nutritionist, Podiatrist, Endocrinologist and our very own Aboriginal Health Worker/Practitioner who are here to assist and educate you while putting you on the path to a long and healthy life.

Yarrawarra outreach clinic located at the cultural centre is a convenient option for families living in the Northern Beaches to see a Doctor or Aboriginal Health Worker. We deliver a weekly walk-in clinic on Tuesday morning from the Yarrawarra cultural centre. This clinic runs from 9am – 12pm.
Most non-emergency health needs can be addressed from the Yarrawarra clinic but from time to time, the doctor may ask you to attend Galambila clinic for follow up.
The clinic is located to the beach side of the cultural centre. Just look for the big Galambila flag outside.

Even when in good health, it’s a wise idea to visit a GP at least once a year.
It is really important to make the most of your visit. You could book in for a health assessment which is a comprehensive check of your health.

If health issues are identified early, then lifestyle changes and health management can often improve the outcomes of health issues.

Regular clients that have had a health assessment and care plan may be eligible for our CCSS and Brokerage programs.
We support access to offsite health services through referrals if you are eligible for our CCSS and Brokerage programs.
