Capital Health Network

We know that culturally appropriate and safe primary health care services are essential in supporting First Nations people with detection and management of health risk factors, social and emotional well-being issues, and chronic illnesses. So we partnered with local organisation, Coolamon Advisors, to co-design a Cultural Competency Framework which will ensure collaboration with First Nations community members when planning, commissioning and evaluating our projects. We understand the importance of improving relationships, and acknowledging and respecting cultural differences between First Nations and non-Indigenous people when working with the local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community.
