About Kimberley Aboriginal Medical Services
Kimberley Aboriginal Medical Services Ltd (KAMS) is a member based, regional Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Organisation (ACCHO), providing support across the Kimberley region of Western Australia. KAMS is governed by a Board of Directors which is made up of Aboriginal health leaders from each of the towns in the Kimberley Region.
