Aboriginal Medical Services Alliance of the Northern Territory (AMSANT)

AMSANT is the peak body for Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Services in the NT. Aboriginal community control stems from the right to self-determination — a right that empowers Aboriginal people to lead health service design and delivery in line with a holistic view of health.

“Not just the physical well-being of an individual but... the social, emotional and cultural wellbeing of the whole Community in which each individual is able to achieve their full potential...”

Our work is grounded in equity, cultural respect, and the continuous pursuit of excellence in primary health care. Through strong partnerships and a trauma-informed care approach, we support Aboriginal health services across the NT, working collaboratively to improve outcomes and support community wellbeing.

About You

To qualify, you will need to be an AHPRA-registered clinician or bring substantial experience in primary health care, ideally within Aboriginal health services. You will have a demonstrated ability to lead quality improvement initiatives, interpret health data, and support capacity-building across diverse clinical teams.

Additionally, the following skills and background will be highly valued:

• Applied knowledge in clinical CQI, change management, and CQI systems in Aboriginal PHC
• High-level verbal and written communication skills with cross-cultural competency

This is a meaningful and flexible role for a clinical or quality-focused professional with a heart for Aboriginal health and a vision for systems improvement.
