We had a fantastic time attending the NACCHO Aboriginal Health Australia Conference in Sydney last week, recognising and celebrating the incredible work of Aboriginal Controlled Community Health Organisations.

It was inspiring to connect with other public health professionals from around Australia who are just as passionate about providing holistic, culturally appropriate care as we are.

We are grateful for the invaluable insights shared, along with our collective commitment to closing the gap and achieving positive health outcomes for our communities.

Want your practice to be the top-listed Clinic in Roebourne?

Who we are.

Mawarnkarra was established in 1985 in Roebourne; and achieved incorporation under the Aboriginal Councils Associations Act (1976) on the 20th of March 1986.

The name “Mawarnkarra” comes from the Yindjibarndi language and its meaning is translated to mean “one with power to heal”. Mawarnkarra is pronounced, “MAR –WARN- GAR-DAR”. In the Ngarluma language, we say, “MAR-BARN-GAR-DAR”.

The Mawarnkarra symbol of the “Emu” or JARNGURNA represents the oil which is taken from the emu and is used for healing.

In 2005, the new clinic complex at Sholl Street in Roebourne, where we continue to run our service from today, was completed. Mawarnkarra also delivers some Health Programs from a separate property that is also located on Sholl Street in Roebourne.
