Canberra Health Services acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of the land, the Ngunnawal people. Canberra Health Services respects their continuing culture and connections to the land and the unique contributions they make to the life of this area. Canberra Health Services also acknowledges and welcomes Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander peoples who are part of the community we serve.
Aunty Agnes’ Welcome to Country
All our services are located on Ngunnawal Country.
The Ngunnawal people have lived in the country that is now the Canberra region for more than 20,000 years.
At Canberra Health Services, we are on a continuous journey of recognising and respecting Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander ways of working and approaches to holistic health and wellbeing.
We’re committed to providing a more culturally safe environment for our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander patients and their families.
We acknowledge that hospitals aren’t always places Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples go for healing and so have been expanding our services to make First Nations Peoples feel welcome.
How can we do better?
We welcome and encourage feedback on all parts of our health service. If you have a comment, compliment or complaint please let us know. Through working with you we can improve the quality and safety of our services.
