Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander (ATSI)

Overview

We collaborate with Aboriginal Communities to:

  • Improve access to health information about viral hepatitis and liver health for Aboriginal communities
  • Break down barriers to seeking testing, and treatment where required for viral hepatitis
  • Improve access to support services for testing and treatment
  • Encourage healthy lifestyle approaches for liver health
  • Identify knowledge gaps and better understand personal experiences, to inform the development of future projects for Aboriginal communities affected by viral hepatitis

Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP)

The Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) for LiverWELL was endorsed by Reconciliation Australia for 2021/2022

LiverWELL is committed to an ongoing collaboration with Aboriginal Communities, acknowledging the disproportionate health burden carried by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples regarding viral hepatitis and liver disease.

Our Reflect Reconciliation Action Plan demonstrates our commitment to reconciliation and we will implement it through consulting with Aboriginal Communities and organisations and being a supportive and respectful partner, working toward better health outcomes.

We are currently working on our next RAP.

We acknowledge the traditional owners of the lands where we work - the lands of the Woi-Wurrung Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nations. We express our gratitude to them for their continued care and curation of these lands and waters. We pay our respects to Elders past and present.

LiverWELL observes and honours the Kulin Nation's intrinsic connection to land, sky and water, and the creator Bunjil. LiverWELL is committed to being led and informed by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders on bridging health outcomes for communities and improving liver health.
