Geraldton Regional Aboriginal Medical Service

Geraldton Regional Aboriginal Medical Service (GRAMS) is an Aboriginal community controlled health service established in 1978, when a group of local community elders began delivering care from a small house in Beachlands with a single doctor and volunteer board. Over more than four decades it has grown into a comprehensive provider serving the Mid West and Gascoyne region from sites in Geraldton, Carnarvon and Mount Magnet. GRAMS employs over 80 healthcare professionals, sees around 600 patients each week and provides more than 26,000 episodes of care each year. Its mission is to provide high quality and progressive health care to Aboriginal people. Services span general practice, Aboriginal health practitioners, dental, eye, maternal and child health, physiotherapy, and diabetic, respiratory and sexual health clinics, alongside social and emotional wellbeing support, Integrated Team Care, chronic disease care, environmental health, patient transport and family violence prevention programs.
