family-centred care
Ngak Min Health clinic works collaboratively with its partners to deliver comprehensive medical, health, mental health, allied health, and wellbeing services.
We are privileged to have an exceptional group of supporters who provide financial assistance to Ngak Min Health. With their support, we were able to provide 1,084 episodes of care between July-December 2022.

Cape York Partnership
Ngak Min Health is an entity of Cape York Partnership - a non-profit organisation that works to empower Indigenous families and communities to strive for lives of value, freedom and prosperity.
The Ngak Min model is informed by the ‘Team Around the Family’ approach. Through staff/parent training and curriculum integration, we are building the capability of all involved to promote healthy development and reduce the burden of disease.
Cape York Girl Academy
In 2020 Ngak Min Health's services were extended to include Cape York Girl Academy, Wangetti campus - Australia’s first boarding high school designed for young Indigenous mothers and their babies to live and learn together.
With on-site access to a wide range of specialists, we’re limiting the multiple and complex referral pathways, which are known to hinder access by many First Nations people.
Our culturally safe, trauma-informed case management framework provides wrap-around support and integrates into all social contexts, while also considering the complex connection between economic disadvantage, child adversity, health and violence.

In the Western Cape York language of Wik Mungkan, Ngak Min means ‘healthy water’, a universal symbol for wellbeing, an element that brings us life, quenches, cleanses and heals. It embodies Ngak Min’s holistic approach to health and wellbeing.
