Eastern Health acknowledges the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nation, the Traditional Owners of the land on which its services operate, and pay respect to their Elders past, present and emerging. We also pay respect to the cultural authority of all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples from other areas of Australia who reside in our region. Eastern Health acknowledges the colonisation of Country and the continuing impact on all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
Eastern Health is committed to Closing the Health Gap and reducing inequality in healthcare status and outcomes between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and non-Indigenous Australians. We are also committed to the empowerment of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Community through employment, career progression, and encouraging the celebration of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander voices in our organisation.
