Help shape culturally safe hospital care for First Nations people
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander stakeholders are invited to have their say about ways to strengthen cultural safety and address racism in Australian hospital systems.
Between now and September 2026, the Australian Commission on Safety and Quality in Health Care will be reaching out across the country to listen, learn, and discuss options for strengthening cultural safety in hospital care.
They are seeking input from people and organisations with knowledge, experience or expertise in cultural safety, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health, hospital care, health system reform, lived experience, workforce practice, governance, accountability, standards, accreditation, measurement or service delivery.
To ensure they hear from a diverse range of people and organisations, particularly Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, they are starting with an Expression of Interest (EOI) process to help us understand the best ways to connect, share information and yarn.
Register to attend One Fire, Many Flames: Lighting the Way Forward for Our Families, a national symposium bringing together Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community members, service providers, researchers, and policymakers in Adelaide, hosted on the 2-3 September 2026.
When Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people are undercounted, our communities can miss out on the funding, services and resources we need. Learn more about the upcoming Census.
The NAIDOC SA Family Fun Day will be hosted at Victoria Square/Tarntanyangga on Friday 10 July, with the March to start at 11am. AHCSA will be joining the community in celebrating this significant occasion.
