Aboriginal health

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health and wellbeing is one of Murrumbidgee Primary Health Network’s seven priority areas.

We know that culturally appropriate and safe primary health care services are essential in supporting Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people with detection and management of health risk factors, social and emotional wellbeing, and chronic illnesses.
