Nirrumbuk Environmental Health Program
Our Environmental Health program is a partnership between Nirrumbuk and the Health Department of Western Australia through the office of Aboriginal Health and the Kimberley Population Health Unit.
Comprehensive Environmental Health services are provided to the four major Aboriginal Communities and 72 active outstations in the Kullarri region.
Services are delivered in two areas, firstly the statutory responsibilities normally vested with Local Government and secondly direct works performed in the Communities and outstations.
Local Government type works are delivered by an Environmental Health Officer directly employed by Nirrumbuk. This person liaises closely with other service providers.
An Environmental Health worker is directly employed to perform routine works in each of the major Communities.
The Environmental Health foreman heads up a roving regional crew who perform specialized tasks and service all of the outstations.
All our staff have formal Environmental Health qualifications and are expected to undergo ongoing training.
Scope of works includes administering the provisions of various acts, monitoring and reporting on Environmental Health matters, community projects and education, dog health, pest control education, dust control, pre cyclone cleanups and maintenance of machinery and equipment.
Djaringo is an Indigenous owned and operated Registered Training Organisation based in Broome, Western Australia. Djaringo is based in the Nirrumbuk Skills Centre in Blackman St, Broome.
Djaringo Pty Ltd is a not for profit Registered Training Organisation (RTO) which was established in 1997.
Djaringo is governed by three Aboriginal directors. One is a senior Elder and the others are well known and respected Aboriginal people who work on site.
Djaringo provides a range of nationally accredited and short courses to both Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal people in Broome and surrounding communities and other parts of the Kimberley.
Kullarri Employment Services (KES) was formed in 2003 by local Indigenous community members and business interests specifically to tender as a member of Job Futures for the Job Network contract in the West Kimberley area of Western Australia. These interests identified the need for people with local knowledge and experiences to be involved in the delivery of employment services in the region, particularly as they felt that the long term unemployed and Indigenous people had not received a ‘fair go’ from previous providers.
