Australian Indigenous Doctors' Association

🧑🏽‍⚕️ This week our Communications and Engagement team have been inspired and energised by the powerful National Association of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Workers and Practitioners (NAATSIHWP) National Conference in Whadjuk Noongar Boodjar Country, Perth.

🎫 AIDA are also proud to have been a name tag supporter of the 2024 event.

💪🏽 Under the theme ‘Reaping the Rewards of Resilience, we gathered with NAATSIHWP members and event partners. We reflected on, celebrated and recognised the strength and commitment of Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander Health Practitioners, while delivering the highest level of culturally safe health care.

🌿 After a balcony Welcome to Country and Smoking Ceremony from Emeritus Professor Dr Len Collard, we were welcomed by David Follent, NAATSIHWP Board Chair.

🎭 Minister for Indigenous Australians Malarndirri McCarthy, gave the Opening Address, while comedian Sean Choolburra was a fantastic MC.

🧶 Whether presenters shared work from research or the grassroots, the vital importance of community, connection, country, authenticity and story was weaved through them all.

📱 Traditional knowledge was also married with modern innovation to improve patient care across the country. From Dr Marjad Page’s stunning animation to educate young folks on fetal alcohol syndrome, to Well Mob’s brilliant online resource, to group singing lesson of Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes in traditional language via Zoom from Katherine, NT.

🙏🏽 Thank you so much NAATSIHWP for having us – we look forward to seeing you at PRIDoC 2-4 December on Kaurna Country, Adelaide!

“We should pay particular attention to areas where there was greater opposition to the Voice, as these are the areas associated with the worse health and less use of health care.

“We need more culturally safe health care, tailored care that is inclusive and free of racism.

“We also need to look more broadly to change community attitudes about Indigenous Australians if we are to reduce systemic racism, stigma and its impacts on health.”

Quoted are some of the findings of a new report, featured in The Conversation, linking Voice opposition to poorer Indigenous health. And in some areas, this link is striking.

We found opposition to the Voice is linked to poorer Indigenous health. And in some regions, the link is striking Indigenous Australians living in areas with stronger opposition to the Voice have poorer health and are less likely to access health care.
