A landmark health project has reached a major milestone in Broome with the official launch of the Yinajalan Ngarrungunil Health and Wellbeing Campus.

The campus - whose name means "care for people" in the Yawuru language - aims to bring together culture and care in one place, guided by the local philosophy of Mabu Liyan, or good wellbeing.

After nearly a decade of planning, Nyamba Buru Yawuru (NBY) this week celebrated the completion of civil works at the Dora Street site, paving the way for the next phase of construction and service delivery.

NBY is the operational company of the Yawuru people, the Traditional Owners of Rubibi (Broome).

Established after the Yawuru native title determinations in 2006 and 2010, it manages land, economic and community development initiatives on behalf of Yawuru families.

Kimberley MLA Divina D'Anna described Yinajalan Ngarrungunil as "a place that will bring strength, care and connection".

She said the project would be community-led, creating space for healing and cultural wellbeing.

Developed by NBY in partnership with DevelopmentWA and the WA Government, the project will create a hub for culturally safe, integrated health and social services for Broome and the wider West Kimberley region.

The precinct will include aged-care and respite facilities, short-stay accommodation, renal and mental-health services, and community program spaces.

Nyamba Buru Yawuru CEO Ninielia Mills said completing the civil works marks the beginning of turning the community's long-held vision into reality.

"With the completion of civil works, we're proud to take the next steps in creating a campus that reflects Yawuru values and delivers long-term benefits for our community and future generations," Ms Mills said.

WA Premier Roger Cook, Housing and Lands Minister John Carey, Health Minister Amber-Jade Sanderson and Kimberley MP Divina D'Anna have all backed the project, describing it as a model of Aboriginal-led development.

DevelopmentWA oversaw the site's civil and subdivision works, while local partners include MercyCare, WA Country Health Service, the Shire of Broome and the Kimberley Development Commission.

The next stage will finalise partnerships with service providers and progress the design of buildings that blend clinical care with cultural knowledge and environmental sustainability.

Construction of new facilities is expected to begin in 2026, with NBY leading design, tenancy and cultural governance
