Nindilingarri Cultural Health Services is an Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Organisation. It began in 1995, following a wide reaching community consultation.

The consultation aimed to establish the type of health service the local Community wanted. The clear message from this consultation was that the community wanted a holistic, culturally appropriate service that recognises the impact of Aboriginal Law, Culture, Spirit and Land issues on the health of the Community.

The Community also specified that they wanted an Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Organisation that focused on disease prevention and health promotion. Most importantly, they wanted a service that worked together with the existing, state-run hospital service to avoid duplication of services and improve the quality of services for local people.
It was from this consultation that the concept of a partnership between the FVHS and Nindilingarri was formed. The Partnership is explained in detail within the Websites "Partnership" page.

NCHS has 2 main divisions; these are Health Services which include Health Promotion Team and Environmental Health Team and Community Services which include Guwardi Ngadu Frail Aged Hostel, Home and Community Care Services and Drug and Alcohol Services.
