We're committed to improving the health outcomes of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in the North Brisbane and Moreton Bay region.
Through working with community and for community, we aim to close the gap in life expectancy, improve the mortality rates for children, and improve access to culturally appropriate and high-quality healthcare.
Brisbane North PHN commissions a number of programs to local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander organisations that deliver services to the many communities in the region.
These programs include:

The Institute for Urban Indigenous Health (IUIH) provides development screening and subsequent appropriate intervention to develop skills for school readiness at a number of Kindergartens in our region.
Along with screening and skills development, IUIH therapists work alongside early childhood staff to embed sustainable workplace practices to enhance learning opportunities for children and their families. The program will also facilitate linkages to local primary healthcare services to ensure improved health outcomes.
Our PHN recognises that a proactive engagement with reconciliation will contribute towards strengthening relationships and opportunities and building respect between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and other Australians.
Brisbane North PHN acknowledges Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders as the first people of Australia and we pay our respects to the Traditional Custodians on whose land we walk, we work and we live.
