New Appointment Types at Palmerston Clinic
Danila Dilba is strengthening the cultural safety we provide at our clinics by moving back to an Aboriginal Health Practitioner (AHP) and nurse-led service model. This change will take place on 15 June 2026, following in the footsteps of our Malak Clinic.
What does this mean for me?
The high level of care you receive at clinic won’t change. But from 15 June 2026, the clinician who provides it might. Your AHP or nurse is able to complete most parts of your appointment – including an initial yarn, most of your health check, immunisations and blood checks. This gives your doctor more time to focus on other parts of your appointment.
Different types of appointments to suit your needs
Our reception team will ask you a few questions when you make your appointment so we can make sure we have booked the right appointment for you.
These changes took place first at our Malak Clinic in 2025, with Palmerston to follow this year, ahead of all other DDHS clinics in the future.
Need more information?
Have a yarn with our Palmerston Clinic Manager if you need more information and keep an eye out for the posters we have around the clinic too.
