Kimberley Support Services

Kimberley Supports is a unit within Kimberley Aboriginal Medical Services (KAMS), focused on improving access to high-quality, culturally safe disability and aged care supports for Aboriginal people across the Kimberley region.

Our vision is for Aboriginal people in the Kimberley to have strong, community-led support systems that enable independence, connection to Country, and quality of life.

We work closely with Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Organisations (ACCHOs), government agencies, and service partners to ensure that people with disability, older people, and their families can access the supports they need, when and where they need them.

Kimberley Supports Consortium

The Kimberley Supports programs are delivered through a Consortium approach, which brings together eight local Aboriginal Community Controlled Organisations from across the region working in collaboration to deliver disability and aged care initiatives.

Through the Consortium, member services share knowledge, align service delivery approaches, and advocate together for better outcomes for Aboriginal people living with disability and older people in the Kimberley.

Kimberley Supports Programs

Together, the consortium delivers 4 programs across the Kimberley region.

The CC and CCC Program work to support Aboriginal people with disability, their families, and communities to understand and access the NDIS in a culturally safe way.

The RECS Program supports Aboriginal families with children under 9 years who have developmental delays or disabilities, providing short-term early intervention services in remote Kimberley communities.

The Elder Care Supports Workforce & Training Program support the Elder Care Support Connector and Coordinator workforce around the Kimberley. This includes delivery of non-accredited training; mentoring and support; advocacy and delivery of jurisdictional aged acre communications and yarning circles.

Kimberley Supports delivers the ICB Program in the remote communities of Bidyadanga, Beagle Bay, Balgo, Billiluna and Mulan.
