Kunawarritji, in the middle of Western Australia's Pilbara region, is a 15-hour drive from the nearest town and home to one of the most remote Aboriginal medical services in the state.Chibawe is the CEO of Puntukurnu Aboriginal Medical Service , a community controlled health organisation based in Newman that runs health clinics in Kunawarritji and three other Pilbara communities.
On Thursday the West Australian government announced $11.6 million in funding for solar farms and battery storage in the Kimberley region in the state's north. PAMS is part of the Aboriginal Health Council of Western Australia , an organisation made up of the state's community-controlled health organisations.
He called on the government to extend solar incentives to the"hot and unforgiving" centre of the state. The government has no immediate plans to roll out the incentive scheme in the Pilbara, but has"constant discussions with Horizon Power about providing safe, lower cost power to Aboriginal communities", the spokesperson said.
