Â
The service plans to replace their roof, air conditioning system, flooring and skylights, according to Barwon MP Roy Butler.
Â
They also plan up to update furniture "to create a safer and more comfortable environment for patients and staff."
Â
BAMS is run under the Walgett Aboriginal Medical Service board.
Â
"The Walgett AMS is one of the most effective health services for Indigenous communities in the region, and this funding is well targeted to deliver a direct impact," Mr Butler said.
Â
"It will be used to upgrade the Brewarrina AMS clinical building to meet current clinical standards."
The service was one of only eight that were successful in being awarded funding from the October round of the Club Grants infrastructure program out of 82 applications received.
Â
Other non-profit organisation who secured funding include Ronald McDonald House, Foodbank NSW & ACT and Southern Youth and Family Services.
Â
In the 2025 March round, Walgett AMS also received a quarter million dollars for construction of a pavilion at the Freedom Rides Memorial Park on Walgett's Fox Street.
