The Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Service provides culturally appropriate and accessible health services for First Nations peoples across Australia. Our approach is grounded in the principles of community control, cultural respect, and holistic care, addressing not just physical health but also social, emotional, and spiritual wellbeing.
We understand the unique challenges faced by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, especially in remote and rural areas. Our service seeks to reduce health disparities, empower communities, and deliver care that is led by the needs, aspirations, and traditions of each community.
We collaborate with Aboriginal Community-Controlled Health Organisations (ACCHOs), Elders, local health workers, and government agencies to provide comprehensive, integrated care and improve health outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
