  Miwatj Health Aboriginal Corporation currently have a need for an experienced GP Locums for their Ngalkanbuy clinic in Galiwin’ku NT
  Galiwin’ku (Elcho Island) is a large Yolngu community of around 2500 people, situated on Elcho Island. Originally established as a mission, its population has grown significantly in recent decades and it now faces major infrastructure constraints (particularly housing) which impact on health status.
  The health services here are an integral part of the community and the service is a community led initiative by and for the Yolgnu people. The majority of the Health staff are local indigenous people and they are always happy to assist and advise in the provision of appropriate care for the community.
  GPs are able to access additional clinical support by contacting other Miwatj GPs or contacting Royal Darwin Hospital to discuss cases or clinical issues with the relevant specialist registrar or consultant.
  Most patients of the clinic are local Aboriginal people resident in Galiwin’ku, with additional at times parallel medical support for the outlying communities further north on the island also provided by the Marthakal Clinic. The Galiwin’ku clinic also provides health care for visiting and resident non-indigenous workers, and the occasional traveller.
