Men’s Health

Unfortunately, we do not have a dedicated Men’s Health clinic.

Primarily, there are two reasons for this – firstly, there is a chronic shortage of male Aboriginal Health Workers in the Northern Territory, and secondly, we have not been able to secure recurrent funding for a Men’s Health Coordinator.

Sexual health services specific to males are provided by the Male Sexual Health Aboriginal Health Worker as part of the Sexual Health program.

However, we are currently required to provide all other men’s health services from within the clinic and other existing program areas. While this does not restrict the services which are available to male clientele, it is not always culturally appropriate, and does not enable us to target men’s health to the extent which we would like.
