Aboriginal-specific education and cultural safety
Healthy North Coast recognises that our Aboriginal community members often experience poorer health than non-Aboriginal people. These inequities are unacceptable. Improvement relies on effective cross-sectoral partnerships and leadership of Aboriginal organisations and communities.
We aim to improve access to, and the quality of, primary healthcare for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people within our region and to support disease prevention and health promotion.
We acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land we live and work, the Bundjalung, Arakwal, Yaegl, Gumbaynggirr, Githabul, Dunghutti and Birpai Nations, and their continuing connection to land, sea and community. We pay our respects to elders past, present and future.
