Aboriginal Health

East Metropolitan Health Service (EMHS) is committed to working with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities to support access to healthcare by providing a culturally safe environment, creating employment opportunities and developing partnerships. This work aims to close the gap on health inequities between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders and the broader community.

Our Aboriginal Community Health teams work to improve the health of Aboriginal people by improving their access to culturally appropriate health care. Teams are based across the metropolitan region, which covers all three health services in the north, south and east.

All of our Aboriginal Community Health programs are planned, implemented and evaluated in consultation and collaboration with the Aboriginal community.

  • Moorditj Djena – Strong Feet Moorditj Djena is a podiatry and diabetes education outreach program for Aboriginal people within the Perth metropolitan area.
  • Aboriginal Healthy Lifestyle Programs We deliver a suite of healthy lifestyle services to support the Aboriginal community, including the LIFE and Journey of Living with Diabetes programs.
  • Aboriginal Acute Care Coordination The Aboriginal Acute Care Coordination program is available for Aboriginal patients are admitted to Royal Perth Hospital and are discharged with an acute condition.
  • Service Collaboration The Aboriginal Community Health team collaborate with other departments to improve the health outcomes of our Aboriginal patients.
  • Aboriginal Health Strategy The Aboriginal Health Strategy team work to improve access to culturally appropriate health care for our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities.
