Health Equity
Health equity means that everyone has a fair and just opportunity to be as healthy as possible.
Gold Coast Health has developed a First Nations Health Equity Strategy in partnership with local Community to:
- work with First Nations peoples and organisations to close the health gap
- answer to the Communities that we serve
- build better health services for Gold Coast Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community members.
Our commitment is to work with the Gold Coast First Nations community, delivering real outcomes and lasting change through a genuine partnership approach of co-design, co-ownership and co-implementation.
