Liam Harte

Liam is a freshwater saltwater man from the Dunghutti area of coastal Northern NSW, a purpose driven First Nations leader holding positions with not-for-profits, government and corporate boards.

“I was raised by a single mum in Sydney – a nurse who could not afford child care and who would check me in as a patient on her ward so that she could work night shifts.” Said Liam.

“From humble beginnings, I served in the Australian Defence Force and United Nations and, together with my co-founder, Brad Goodwin, we became intensive care paramedics with NSW Ambulance.   We are both passionate about improving outcomes for Indigenous people through health and in business.”

Brad Goodwin 

Brad is a proud Wiradjuri man from Lithgow who’s committed to making a difference to First Nations healthcare and well-being.

“I only discovered that I was of Aboriginal descent in my early thirties and have dedicated myself to learning about my family and culture.  As a Superintendent at NSW Ambulance, I have a strong focus on influencing decisions that will lead to better health, employment and education outcomes for Aboriginal Australians.”, said Brad.

An important initiative in Closing the Gap is a concerted effort by government and the private sector to foster a sustainable Indigenous-owned business sector. There are a number of mechanisms to achieve this all of which involve organisations embedding Indigenous supplier diversity into their procurement chains – assuming the product/service, price and professionalism are of an equal or better standard than what one would expect from any supplier.

Over 500 leading organisations are members of Supply Nation which is recognised by governments and corporates as certifying business as being Indigenous – ie no less than 50% Indigenous-owned.  See here the organisations that have signed up to Supply Nation to procure from Indigenous business. Similarly, many leading organisations have Reconciliation Action Plans (RAPs) in which they have Indigenous procurement targets.The Federal government has an Indigenous Procurement Policy by which it aims to spend 3% of contracts on certified Indigenous businesses, whereas the NSW Government launched its Aboriginal Procurement Policy (APP) aimed at awarding 3% of government goods and services contracts to Aboriginal owned businesses. The other States have similar programs and targets.

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.

Our social impact model means that our customers’ engagement with Integrity Health & Safety will help fund tomorrow’s leaders of change in Indigenous health – placing Indigenous health in Indigenous hands.
