Goondir

What Goondir does

Goondir Health Services (legal entity: Goondir Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islanders Corporation for Health Services) is a non-profit, community-controlled health organization founded in 1994 and headquartered in Dalby, Queensland, Australia. The organization delivers comprehensive primary healthcare and community services to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people across the Western Downs region of rural and remote Queensland, operating four fixed clinic locations (Dalby, Chinchilla, Oakey, St George), a Queensland Health-funded Mobile Medical Clinic that visits schools and remote communities, and a Virtual Health Services (VHS) platform for in-home remote physiological monitoring of chronic disease patients (blood pressure, blood sugar, oxygen saturation, heart rate).

The service portfolio spans 20+ programs organized into four pillars: primary healthcare (General Practice, 715 Health Checks, Diabetes Program); allied and specialist health (Dental Care via a University of Queensland School of Dentistry partnership with a five-chair clinic in Dalby, Hearing Health, Maternal & Child Health, Sexual & Reproductive Health, optometry, physiotherapy, podiatry, dietetics, speech pathology); chronic disease and aged care (Integrated Team Care, Commonwealth Home Support Programme, Elder Care Support, VHS remote monitoring); and community programs (Big Buddy youth mentorship, Wandir Gunde Playgroup early childhood program, Wanna Yarn Wanna Cut barbershop-counselling service, Child Safety and Wellbeing, Cultural Development, Counselling, Social & Emotional Wellbeing). The technology backbone combines traditional clinic delivery with mobile outreach and a home-based remote monitoring platform, supported by AGPAL GP training post accreditation and ISO 9001:2015 quality management certification.

The business model is entirely grant-funded by Australian Government and Queensland Government health programs — NACCHO, the National Indigenous Australians Agency (NIAA), Queensland Health, the Department of Health Office for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health, and the Western Queensland and Darling Downs and West Moreton Primary Health Networks. Services are delivered at no cost (or no co-contribution for CHSP) to eligible Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander clients. Goondir employs 51-100 staff and is governed by an independent Board of Directors under Australian corporation law for Indigenous community-controlled organizations, with no parent company, private equity, or venture capital ownership. In 2024 the organization celebrated its 30th anniversary and concurrently executed a multi-site capital expansion including the St George Community Wellbeing Centre Stage 3, a 52-apartment crisis accommodation and admin complex in Dalby, the new Dalby Community Wellbeing Centre, and a new Oakey Clinic facility.
