Coffs Harbour residents will soon have better access to GPs and allied health professionals following the signing of a $7-million agreement between the federal government and the Bawrunga Medical Service.
The Nambucca-based indigenous health service, which is run by a board of Aboriginal elders, already operates medical centres at Nambucca, Macksville, Toormina and Sydney.
The new GP Super Clinic was promised before the last federal election and will offer a comprehensive range of services from the one location.
The clinic will have a strong emphasis on chronic disease and preventative health care.
