AHCSA was pleased to host Federal Minister for Health and Aged Care Hon. Mark Butler MP for a tour of our offices and a media press conference today.
We were gratified that the Minister, who is also Federal Member for the SA electorate of Hindmarsh, chose AHCSA as the venue for a clear statement of the government's commitment to closing the gap in health outcomes between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and non-Indigenous Australians.
Minister Butler had several positive and honest discussions with staff members at AHCSA, and heard a lot of truth from CEO Shane Mohor, Board chair Wilhelmine Lieberwirth, and Board member (and former chair) Polly-Sumner Dodd about the health issues facing our people in South Australia and about what we need from him and his government.
