Why this petition matters

The Andrews government and the federal Health Minister Greg Hunt both refuse to fund multi-award winning First Peoples' Health and Wellbeing. We question their commitment to Closing the Gap for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people living in Victoria. 

We are an Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Service that provides culturally safe and trauma informed comprehensive primary health care including:

  • preventative health
  • accredited general practice
  • mental health support
  • family violence support
  • preventing avoidable hospitalisations
  • legal advocacy
  • alcohol and other drug counselling
  • preventing child removals
  • justice health
  • suicide prevention and trauma counselling 

Located across Melbourne, we are seeing incredible health and mental health outcomes since opening our doors to the community.

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in Victoria deserve the highest quality healthcare. Sign the petition to show that Victorian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health matters too.
