Australian Indigenous HealthInfoNet

The Australian Indigenous HealthInfoNet is an innovative unique web resource that aims to inform practice and

policy in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health by making the evidence base freely accessible via the internet at www.healthinfonet.ecu.edu.au. Since 1997, the HealthInfoNet is helping to close the gap in health between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and other Australians. Their knowledge exchange research aims at providing the knowledge and other information needed for time poor health practitioners and policy-makers to make informed decisions and deliver this in a way that is timely, accessible and relevant.

Congress of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Nurses and Midwives (CATSINaM)

Congress of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Nurses and Midwives (CATSINaM) is the peak advocacy body for

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander nurses and midwives in Australia.

CATSINaM’s vision is that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander nurses and midwives play a pivotal and respected role in achieving health equality across Australia’s health system for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander People and communities. Our purpose is to honour a holistic and culturally safe approach to achieve optimal health and wellbeing for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander People and communities.

Palliative Care Australia

Palliative Care Australia (PCA) is the national peak body for palliative care. PCA represents those who work towards high quality palliative care for all Australians who need it. Working closely with consumers, our Member Organisations and the palliative care workforce, we aim to improve access to, and promote palliative care. We believe quality palliative care occurs when strong networks exist between specialist palliative care providers, primary care providers and support care providers and the community. https://palliativecare.org.au
