16 October 2023
Sydney Health Weekly

Central and Eastern Sydney Primary Health Network seeks to achieve better health and wellbeing for all in our community. We commit to providing ongoing support to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples to achieve equality and end the health disparities they continue to experience throughout their lives.

We walk beside the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples of our region in advocating for social change that achieves equity and better health and wellbeing. We acknowledge the impact made to the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities post the Voice referendum. With this in mind, we would like share some social and emotional support resources.

The National Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Organisation (NACCHO) and the Australian Indigenous HealthInfoNet have launched a portal that brings together a collection of resources aimed at supporting and reducing distress during this time.
