Aboriginal Health Plan 2026–2029
NSLHD Aboriginal Health Plan 2026–2029 Launched
On behalf of Pauline Deweerd - Executive Director Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health and Workforce. NSLHD Aboriginal Health Plan 2026-2029 has been launched across the LHD Our Vision : Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people experience equitable health outcomes, cultural safety, and holistic wellbeing through community-led decision-making, strong Aboriginal governance, and culturally responsive health services that honour Country, culture, and community. The plan outlines how we, as a wider LHD, want to and will work alongside our Aboriginal consumers, staff and community. This milestone strengthens our commitment to culturally safe, responsive and community‐led care across the district.
Held on National Close the Gap Day, the event united staff, community members and partners in acknowledging our shared responsibility to drive meaningful improvements in health outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. We would like to ensure that this plan, alongside the LHD's Clinical Services Plan and the NSW Aboriginal Health Plan are considered in the development of any new policies, procedures, guidelines and programs. This should be reflected in supporting Aboriginal Health Impact Statements that are submitted to the Aboriginal Health Service for Endorsement.
