Building trust through partnerships

We build trust through partnerships by building relationships with and between service providers, particularly the AH&MRC and ACCHSs to foster participation in service planning, design and implementation.

Implementing what works and building the evidence

We implement what works and build the evidence by supporting quality research and evaluation, disseminating evidence of effective programs and services, and supporting the translation of evidence into policy and practice.

Ensuring integrated planning and service delivery

We ensure integrated planning and service delivery by working with Commonwealth agencies, other NSW Government agencies and relevant local and state partners to achieve shared planning and service delivery that reduces duplication, is efficient, and improves access and utilization.

Strengthening the Aboriginal workforce

We strengthen the Aboriginal workforce by attracting, developing and sustaining more Aboriginal people to work in health.

Providing culturally safe health services

We provide culturally safe work environments and health services by developing the structures, policies, and processes required for culturally safe work environments and culturally respectful and secure health service provision.

Strengthening performance monitoring, management and accountability

We strengthen performance monitoring, management and accountability to improve Aboriginal health in NSW.
