The Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Workers Association will be a peak national body for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health workers. The association will provide advocacy, mentoring and support for indigenous health workers and will provide information through a new website at http://www.natsihwa.org.au.
It will be governed by board members elected from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health workers across Australia through State and Territory processes, with an inaugural annual general meeting to be held in mid 2010. An interim board is currently operating from Canberra. Minister for Indigenous Health Warren Snowdon said that the Government is providing $1.2 million over three years to establish the association. “The nation’s 1,600 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health workers are a key part of the health workforce,’ Minister Snowdon said.
