- TAIHS is a General Practice focusing on Indigenous Health; our aim is to provide a holistic primary health care service. We have a range of medical and associated professionals located within the practice. Townsville Aboriginal & Islanders Health Services Limited (TAIHS) is one of an increasing number across Australia of self-governing, independent, community-controlled Indigenous organisations providing primary health care services to Indigenous people. TAIHS has grown up out of the desire of local Indigenous people to take control of their own health and of how primary health care services are delivered to and within Indigenous communities in North Queensland.
