Aboriginal Health Promotion

The Aboriginal Health Promotion team works with Aboriginal community-controlled organisations, local Aboriginal gathering places, Aboriginal organisations and other community health organisations to provide preventative health action in a culturally safe manner.

Our work is guided by the Closing the Gap targets, the Victorian Public Health and Wellbeing Plan 2023-2027 and the Monash Health reconciliation action plan. Self-determination and community involvement underpin the way in which our health promotion operates.

Our priority areas

  • Diabetes
  • Sexual and Reproductive Health
  • Cardiovascular and Rheumatic Heart Disease
  • Smoking and vaping cessation
  • Healthy living (physical activity and healthy eating)
