Eastern Health strives to ensure all our services are Culturally Safe and welcoming for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
We have a dedicated Aboriginal Health Team available for all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples living in Eastern Health’s catchment that spans across the municipalities of Boroondara, Knox, Manningham, Maroondah, Whitehorse and Yarra Ranges. The Aboriginal Health Team provides a range of services for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and their families.
We also have a dedicated team of Aboriginal Hospital Liaison Officers (AHLOs) that, with a strong focus on Cultural Safety, provide a range of supports for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander patients within the hospital environment.
