About the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Service
The Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Services provides a culturally safe space for health services to conduct assessments and improve access to care closer to home for the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community and their immediate family.
The Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Service will be supported by an Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander Nurse Navigator, Health Worker, and both male and female Community Engagement Officers.
The Nurse Navigator Service is a referral and linkage service to connect tertiary, primary and community health networks to the needs of the patient. This patient centred teamwork approach forms and develops an effective team that delivers exceptional care to patients.
Other services provided in the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Hub include:
