Integrated Team Care (ITC) - As part of the ITC funding, WentWest has commissioned Greater Western Aboriginal Health Service (GWAHS) whose role is to work with the local community to improve the health of local Aboriginal patients whom have a chronic health condition.

 Information about the program, who can access the program and how the team at GWAHS can support you, is available on the GWAHS website or contact them on (02) 9836 7300.

WentWest would like to acknowledge the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as Australia’s First Nation Peoples and the Traditional Custodians of this land. We value their culture, identity, and continuing connection to country, waters, kin and community. We would like to acknowledge and give our respect to Elders past, present and future.

We are committed to making a valued contribution to the well-being of all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples of western Sydney
