Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander Existing Workforce Development
For this project, the Institute for Urban Indigenous Health (IUIH) aims to equip and grow a direct care workforce to meet the needs of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples that can be deployed across disability and home care support services.
An Innovative Care Model
IUIH has developed a comprehensive System of Care; a regionally integrated model of expanded community, aged and primary health care services for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people across South East Queensland.
It addresses social determinants of health and provides a comprehensive workforce development strategy comprising training and employment for its workforce.
Project Aim
This project expands the IUIH System of Care to increase Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples’ access to sustainable and viable employment through meaningful & culturally appropriate training, and to ensure culturally safe care and ways of working with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
