General Practitioner | SINGLETON

THE LOCATION:

Situated in Singleton, Ungooroo Aboriginal Corporation is just 45 minutes’ drive from Newcastle and is close to all major centres in the Hunter Region via the Hunter Expressway. It is a rapidly growing location, with new housing developments in the area. Singleton is a dynamic regional centre with fantastic educational, sporting and recreational facilities and has private and government schooling to year 12. With rolling vineyards, colonial heritage and outdoor adventure, Singleton is a delightful riverside town in the Hunter Valley wine region. In addition to quality schools, sporting and recreational facilities, you can enjoy wine tasting, heritage walks and wonderful international and local concerts.

THE PRACTICE:

Ungooroo GP & Health Services is an Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Organisation (ACCHO) general practice that is committed to promoting wellness and chronic disease prevention. We are nationally accredited through AG PAL and endorsed through AH&MRC and NACCHO.

We currently have 2 experienced Aboriginal Health Practitioners, qualified immunisers and provide our own pathology. We have been endorsed as an ACCHO since 2016 and fully accredited according to fifth standards since November 2019 through AGPAL.

We are located in the Singleton Centre and offer 10 consultation rooms for both GP’s and allied health services. We strive to provide a holistic approach to healthcare, utilising our partnership with Rural Doctors Network to provide allied health services such as Physiotherapy, Psychology, Speech, Diabetes workshops, Audiology, Optometry and Mental Health workers. Ungooroo also has partnered with the Primary Health Network to provide the Integrated Team Care (ITC) program which supports Aboriginal patients with complex chronic diseases. This program is supported and coordinated by a Registered Nurse and Outreach worker. In addition, we provide GP outreach services in Muswellbrook in a great location which has easy access for community.
