Walgett Aboriginal Medical Service Limited ANNUAL REPORT 2024/2025 31 Funded by: Federal Dept of Social Services – National Indigenous Australians Agency NSW Health – Rural Doctors Network – Western NSW Primary Health Network Celebrating over 39 years of Service since 1986 Workforce support continued to be a key operational focus, including staff recruitment, training and the engagement of specialist and contract services. WAMS also continued to manage travel, accommodation and other logistical requirements associated with delivering services in a regional and remote setting. BAMS outreach Brewarrina continued to deliver primary health care and other funded programs for the local community, supported by visiting doctors, locums, specialist providers and the broader WAMS administration team. Operational priorities included supporting the local workforce, maintaining facilities and equipment, coordinating travel and accommodation, and meeting the day-to-day requirements of program delivery. Staff training and access to specialist support also remained important in maintaining service capability. The internal management accounts reflect continued activity across primary health care, safety and wellbeing, Culture Care Connect, drought relief, research and planning for the new Brewarrina primary health care facility. These programs contribute to the ongoing development of services available to the Brewarrina community. Conclusion Managing finances has many roles and responsibilities. The growth of our business has resulted in an increase of such accountability consequently requiring the addition of external partners to maintain such responsibility. The 2024/25 financial year was marked by continued investment in facilities, equipment and organisational capability. WAMS generated total revenue of $14.95 million, recorded a surplus of $261,099 and closed the year with net assets of $22.71 million. Operational activity across Walgett and Brewarrina continued to focus on supporting staff, maintaining facilities and infrastructure, and delivering health and community programs in response to local needs. In closing I acknowledge the continuing support and advice of Mellisa Timmins and Rebecca Gleeson for their leadership of both teams. Thank you. FINANCE MANAGER As per CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER
