Anyinginyi Health Aboriginal Corporation
Anyinginyi Health Aboriginal Corporation (Anyinginyi Health) offers primary healthcare services to the Aboriginal population residing in Tennant Creek and four nearby small communities.
Initially established in 1984 as Anyinginyi Congress Aboriginal Corporation, the organisation aimed to reduce poverty, and social and economic disadvantages, while improving health outcomes in the region. 'Anyinginyi' is a Warumungu word meaning 'belonging to us.' In 2003, the organisation was renamed Anyinginyi Health Aboriginal Corporation, which remains our name today.
The organisation’s corporate governance ensures the Board is well-supported by providing accurate, relevant, and timely information and by monitoring the implementation of all agreed actions.
Our Health Services provide comprehensive support
for the health and
well-being of our clients
at every stage of their lives.
