The Katungul Aboriginal Community Corporation & Medical Service is a community controlled health service. Essentially, the Katungul ACC&MS perceives control as the ability of the people who are going to use the health service to determine the nature of that service, as well as participate in the planning, implementation and evaluation of that service. Inherent to this phiosophy is the principle that Aboriginal people must be able to determine and control all aspects of change and decision-making at all levels.
Katungul was established in 1993 as result of an amalgamation of three local Aboriginal organisations. These were Ghuryungan, Markarling House and the Narooma Community Centre.
The aim of establishing a community based health organisation was to support Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Communities on the Far South Coast of NSW to achieve self determination and self management on social and emotional health.
The holistic vision of Katungul incorporates the spiritual, emotional and cultural well being of these communities. The primary focus is to provide quality and culturally appropriate health services, lifestyle education and community development focusing on members collectively voicing their concerns, needs and aspirations to government and other bodies on a local, regional and national level.
