Dubbo Aboriginal Medical Service

Dubbo AMS jumped on Board this year and supported our local Koorie Netball team and from what we hear, they did really well 🏐🏐

In response to this support DAMS will proudly hang a framed Dubbo Googars Netball Club Aboriginal designed jumper in our clinic. The framed jumper is from one of our Dubbo Traditional Family Groups and we acknowledge the Googars.

As the old saying goes, “Go with the flow where the Googars go”

Thank you Dubbo Googars Netball Club, we appreciate and acknowledge your club 🏐🏐
