Culturally safe primary care
Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander health care on the Central Coast
We pay our respect to these lands and its people. We acknowledge those ancestors that defended, walked and managed these lands for many generations before us and who have left a legacy of strong cultural, wisdom and knowledge embedded in these lands today.
We acknowledge and recognise all Aboriginal people who have come from other First Nations groups and who have now come to call this country their home. We acknowledge our Elders who are our knowledge holders, teachers and pioneers.
