About Illawarra Aboriginal Medical Service

Wollongong, NSW, Australia

History of the Illawarra Aboriginal Medical Service Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Corporation (IAMS)

It all began in 1983 in a small tent at Coomaditchie, operating as a branch of the Far South Coast Aboriginal Service – Nowra. This initial service provided the local community with a doctor one day a week, through an arrangement with Redfern Aboriginal Medical Service.

In June 1984 the IAMS was incorporated, and with this came the first success in obtaining funding grants. The Service moved to a small house in Church Street, Wollongong, and despite a few set backs and financial challenges, by June 1986 it was able to purchase essential equipment, and employ a receptionist, an administrator, and a doctor five days a week.

In 1987 the IAMS gained financial assistance from NSW Health Department, and with the assistance of further grants, was able to supply a dental service two days a week, as well as employ a Drug and Alcohol Worker, Public Health Worker, and Assistant.

This expansion meant the Service was fast outgrowing its premises. Numerous applications for funding to purchase new premises were submitted, with no success, until 1994, when a grant was finally obtained from the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Commission. This grant enabled the purchase of the block of land next door to the Church Street premises, and the construction of a new, purpose-built facility, at the cost of $1.8 million.
