Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health

The Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander Health and Wellbeing Hub (The Hub) is located at the Royal Adelaide Hospital (RAH), next to the main entrance on level 3 (ground floor).

Opening hours are Monday to Friday from 8:30 am to 4:30 pm.

Although The Hub is based at RAH, it works with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander patients across Central Adelaide Local Health Network (CALHN) sites including:

• The Queen Elizabeth Hospital (TQEH)
• RAH
• Hampstead Rehabilitation Centre
• Repat Health Precinct.

The Hub is staffed by a team that includes Aboriginal Health Practitioners, who work to raise awareness and advocate on behalf of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander patients to assist in providing culturally appropriate services, to achieve good health outcomes.

Ask your clinical team to contact The Hub to get assistance from an Aboriginal Health Practitioner.

CALHN is committed to improving the health outcomes for the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples of South Australia.

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people experience poorer health and greater exposure to risk factors than other South Australians and CALHN is working to address this inequality by ensuring its services respond to the health needs of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

CALHN strives to build genuine relationships with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, ensuring Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander consumers, staff and volunteers feel welcome and respected, have opportunities for meaningful consultation, and improved access to culturally inclusive and responsive health care services.
