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:
- strengthen the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander workforce
- actively eliminate racial discrimination and institutional racism
- increase equitable access to healthcare services
- influence the social, cultural and economic controls of health
- deliver sustainable, culturally safe and responsive healthcare services
- work with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people to design, deliver, monitor and review health services.
