Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander Paediatric Care
CHA launched the Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander Paediatric Care Network in 2021 to address the health issues that disproportionately affect Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children and young people. The network provides a collaborative space for healthcare professionals to explore, discuss, and share best practices in delivering culturally safe and responsive care for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children, their families, and communities.
Who is it for?
Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal clinicians and health care professionals interested to discuss & share learnings about effective ways to deliver culturally safe care to Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander children, their families, and communities.
