Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health

Learn how we're working towards improving health and social outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in our care.

The Central Adelaide Local Health Network (CALHN) is committed to improving the health outcomes for the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people of South Australia.

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people experience poorer health and greater exposure to risk factors than other South Australians and we are working to address this inequality by ensuring its services respond to the health needs of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.

We strive to build genuine relationships with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in a variety of ways. These include ensuring Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander consumers, staff, and volunteers:

  • feel welcome and respected at all CALHN sites and services
  • have opportunities for meaningful consultation on how our services are provided
  • get improved access to culturally inclusive and responsive health care services.

What we are doing

The Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health and Wellbeing Hub
Across CALHN sites

The Hub is staffed by a team that includes Aboriginal Health Practitioners and Aboriginal Cultural Support Officers, who work to raise awareness and advocate on behalf of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander patients, to assist in providing culturally appropriate services, to achieve good health outcomes.
