Riverina Medical & Dental Aboriginal Corporation

Profile narrative

Riverina Medical & Dental Aboriginal Corporation, operating under the alias RivMed, is an Aboriginal community‑controlled organisation that provides medical and dental health services. Its headquarters are located in Australia, serving the Riverina region’s Aboriginal population. The organisation delivers primary healthcare that combines medical and dental care for its clients. It focuses on delivering culturally appropriate care tailored to the needs of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. Services are made available to community members, clients and staff of the organisation.

As an Aboriginal corporation, RivMed is governed under the Corporations (Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander) Act, reflecting its community‑owned and controlled structure. The organisation distinguishes itself by specialising in integrated medical and dental care within an Aboriginal health setting, aiming to improve health outcomes for a historically underserved group. It operates under the regulatory oversight of the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner for privacy matters, as demonstrated by its recent reporting of a cybersecurity incident. In February 2025, an unauthorised actor accessed part of its IT systems, prompting the engagement of external cyber experts and the support service IDCARE for affected individuals. The organisation has stated that prior cybersecurity measures were in place and that the incident was not caused by any staff member.
