Lives Lived Well and the Bila Muuji Aboriginal Corporation Health Service have joined forces to create better health outcomes for Aboriginal people.
The two non-for-profit health organisations will share a premise and resources in Dubbo, as well as working on joint plans.
Bila Muuji CEO Phil Naden said it would give Lives Lived Well - which helps people impacted by drugs and alcohol - access to the Aboriginal Medical Services under their membership. Those AMSs are in Orange, Forbes, Coomealla, Bourke, Brewarrina and Walgett.

"That means Lives Lived Well can engage in each of those communities and work their intense program with the clients we have, and for us it's a mutual respect and understanding and moving forward in a different way," Mr Naden said.
Lives Lived Well CEO Mitchell Giles said the goal for the partnership was to provide better, more culturally-appropriate support to Aboriginal people across Western NSW.
