In 2008, the Closing the Gap report highlighted the disparity between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians. Seven targets were agreed upon with a focus on education, literacy, employment and health.
As we believe that Indigenous people must be empowered to lead change in health outcomes, we have signed a memorandum of understanding with the Congress of Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander Nurses and Midwives (CATSINaM) to support advocacy, representation and education of Indigenous people in healthcare, nursing and midwifery.
We support the ongoing continued professional development of Indigenous nurses through:
Pro Bono training of Indigenous Nurses in First Aid and Cardio-Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) as part of clinical ongoing requirements.
Providing vaccination training, upskilling and employment opportunities for Indigenous nurses to provide vaccinations in regional and rural communities.
Sponsorship of the CATSINaM annual conference and supporting the attendance of regional nurses to this important event.
Our social impact model means that engagement with Integrity Health & Safety will fund tomorrow’s leaders of change in Indigenous health – placing Indigenous health in Indigenous hands.
