Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health and wellbeing

What can we help you today?

Northern Queensland Primary Health Network (NQPHN) is committed to supporting the health, healing, and wellbeing of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and to closing the gap in health outcomes between non-Indigenous and First Nations people.

NQPHN acknowledges that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander’s health and wellbeing requires a holistic approach that includes physical, social, emotional, cultural, and spiritual aspects.

NQPHN values Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders connection to Country, including ties with culture and kin to support the promotion and advancement of good health and wellbeing in life, family, and community.

There are many different clans located within the NQPHN region, all with their own rich culture and customs. NQPHN is committed to working with the Traditional Custodians within our region to advance reconciliation, and assist Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islanders to live happier, healthier, longer lives.
