1.1 : Our tribute to the National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Worker Association (NATSIHWA)

The National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Worker Association (NATSIHWA) is the peak body for Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander Health Workers and Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander Health Practitioners in Australia.

It was established in 2009, following the Australian Government’s announcement of funding to strengthen the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health workforce as part of its ‘Closing the Gap’ initiative.

NATSIHWA’s goal is to promote the ongoing recognition of Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander Health Workers and Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander Health Practitioners as a vital and valued component of a strong professional Aboriginal health workforce to obtain better health outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.

You will find Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander Health Workers and Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander Health Practitioners working in rural, regional, remote and urban locations. They are employed largely by the Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Sector, other Aboriginal Medical Services, mainstream and private health services.

NATSIHWA compliments the other discipline-specific Indigenous health bodies such as the Australian Indigenous Doctors Association (AIDA), Indigenous Allied Health Australia (IAHA) and Congress of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Nurses (CATSINaM). However, NATSIHWA is the ONLY organisation in Australia that has a prime focus on Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander Health Workers and Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander Health Practitioners. Policy development, mentoring and support, education and professional development forums, and media activities are all critical components of the NATSIHWA’s role and responsibilities.

NATSIHWA is governed by a Board of nine Directors – one from each State and Territory and one from the Torres Strait Island

Services

Our organisation, through our members’ work, contributes significantly to closing the gap in health outcomes between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians, which is of direct and immediate benefit to Aboriginal communities across Australia and also a significant national priority for Australia. NATSIHWA supports Health Workers and Health Practitioners and their communities through our programs, by:

– Providing tools and resources for Health Workers and Health Practitioners and their services

– Facilitating and delivering professional development opportunities to contribute to their effectiveness in their roles

– Raising awareness in broader Australia public (particularly health sector) and building alliances to address Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health priorities

– Communicating and networking across the Health Sector to bring greater awareness of the effective models of care for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples

– Building networks among Health Workers and Health Practitioners, and other health professions and the broader health sector

– Offering mentoring to develop leadership and capabilities in our members

Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander Health Workers and Health Practitioners work with communities, families, and individuals of all ages. They work autonomously and in teams with other health professionals, including medical doctors, registered nurses and midwives, dentists, psychologists, allied health professionals; and with policy makers, educators and researchers.

They provide a range of health services depending upon the work setting and individual scope of practice. These may include, but are not limited to:

~ clinical services such as:

– assessment and screening of physical health and social emotional wellbeing

– health promotion for risk factors (e.g. tobacco, healthy eating)

– providing health care in line with care plans and/or treatment protocols

– supporting clients in self-management, including the safe use of traditional and Western medications

~ planning, delivering and evaluating population health programs

~ advocating for clients, including interpreting and translating language

~ providing advice, support and training on providing culturally-safe health services to other health professionals, policy makers, researchers and educators

~ management activities, such as:

– staff supervision and mentoring

– business and financial management

– quality improvement

~  education and training of Health Workers and other health professionals.
