South Australian Aboriginal health promotion strategy 2022-2030
This strategy aims to support and strengthen the cultural determinants of health and wellbeing:
- Connection to Country
- Indigenous beliefs and knowledges
- Indigenous language
- Family, kinship and community
- Cultural expression and continuity
- Self determination and leadership
For Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, we know good health and wellbeing is more than good nutrition and exercise. Culture, and the ability to practice it, must be strong. Aboriginal people require a culturally appropriate health system, underpinned by policies, programs and services across all sectors, that supports all aspects of health and wellbeing holistically.
This strategy was developed in consultation with the South Australian Aboriginal community in seven regions during 2021. As an agency, we are committed to continue to work in partnership with the South Australian Aboriginal community and stakeholders, supporting the Aboriginal community to build capacity and drive local action that improves the health and wellbeing outcomes for Aboriginal people who call South Australia home.
