We co-designed the strategy with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander consumers, community members, staff and partner organisations.
We worked together to define priority health equity needs and how we'll achieve them.
Our 6 key focus areas are:
- removing racial discrimination and institutional racism
- increasing access to healthcare services
- influencing the social, cultural and economic controls of health
- delivering sustainable, culturally safe and responsive healthcare services
- working with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people to design, deliver, monitor and review health services
- strengthening the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander workforce.
