Mackay HHS has led the development of the very first Mackay, Whitsunday and Isaac Our Mob Together Strong Health Equity Strategy (OMTS HES), shining a spotlight on the pathway to health equity for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander (First Nations) people within our region.
The OMTS HES showcases a journey, whereby regional First Nations leadership have made significant commitment to collaboration and partnerships among local key stakeholders from regional and state government and non-government organisations, health sector support agencies, Traditional Custodians and First Nations Consumer representatives.
The OMTS HES is all about working together to build culturally safe health systems that are First Nations lead and that focus on improving First Nations health and wellbeing outcomes.
