$18 million in grants open up for Indigenous cancer care

The federal government has opened the 2025 grant round for the Partnerships for culturally safe cancer care program through Cancer Australia.

Addressing long-standing equity and cultural safety issues within cancer services is crucial to ensuring Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people can access care supported by local expertise.

The program will invest up to $18 million over three years to support partnerships between mainstream cancer services and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community-controlled organisations.

Applications for the program remain open until 3 February 2026.

‘It’s not just a health centre, it’s a community centre’

Two decades in the making, the new Moorundi Aboriginal Health Service is much more than a GP clinic, it’s a treasured community hub.

In August, 23 years after the need for a dedicated Aboriginal health service was identified by the Ngarrindjeri community, the new $10 million Moorundi Health Centre opened.

Designed in collaboration with Moorundi staff and Aboriginal members, the building and its services offer a welcoming and culturally safe space, with a strong focus on cultural knowledge and language.

The more than 40 staff members provide services including primary health care, allied health and integrated team care, social and emotional wellbeing counselling, mental health support, wellbeing services, Elders and children’s programs, even a transport service to collect patients and return them home when needed.

Closing the gap in one generation: Celebrating 20 years of the Cape York Leaders Program

Cape York Partnership today celebrates the historic milestone of 20 years of the Cape York Leaders Program, highlighting the extraordinary achievements of Indigenous families and students which show closing the gap is not only possible – it’s already happening.

Driven by the wisdom and counsel of the pioneering reform leaders of Cape York, Noel Pearson founded Cape York Partnership to tackle the scourge of passive welfare and rebuild capability through responsibility and opportunity. The Cape York Leaders Program, launched in 2005, has become a beacon of success for youngsters from very remote communities, where education, housing, and health services have long failed them.

A new report by Indigenous-owned and operated consultancy Gargun details the Cape York Leaders Program’s success, including:

  • A Year 12 completion rate of 95% – more than double the national average for remote Indigenous students and on par with Australia’s largest and best-performing scholarship programs.
  • A student retention rate from Year 7 through to Year 12 graduation (securing a QCE) of 85%.
  • Economic Impact: For CYLP Year 12 graduates, 70% go on to secure full-time employment (with others pursuing tertiary studies). Graduates earn on average $50,000 per year more than welfare recipients.
  • Since its inception, CYLP has supported more than 600 secondary and tertiary students, producing over 250 Year 12 graduates and tertiary scholars.

A call for action to address long COVID in Aboriginal communities

The impact of long COVID upon Aboriginal people in the Northern Territory is poorly understood, and more needs to be done to improve diagnosis, treatment and support, according to Dr Andrew Nguyen, public health registrar and infectious diseases physician at Aboriginal Medical Services Alliance Northern Territory (AMSANT).

“Long COVID will not disappear simply because we have stopped talking about COVID,” he writes below.

“It demands attention and equity-focused action. The longer we wait, the greater the risk that this invisible pandemic becomes another entrenched health inequity.”

Andrew Nguyen writes:

COVID-19 may have faded from the headlines, but for many Australians it has not ended – it has simply changed form.

Long COVID, a complex post-viral condition affecting multiple body systems, continues to disrupt the daily lives of Australians, with estimates of more than 870,000 people affected. That is 5.7 percent of everyone who has had COVID.

Symptoms can persist for months or years and can include fatigue, breathlessness, chest pain, neurocognitive impairment, brain fog, sleep disturbance and chronic pain.

For some, these symptoms are disabling and impact work, mobility, family life and participation in community.

Despite this scale, long COVID remains under-recognised, under-diagnosed and under-resourced. And nowhere is that more evident – or more concerning – than in the Northern Territory.

Own it, and we will end it: Our women are leading the way to eliminate cervical cancer

Cervical cancer elimination is not a distant goal; it is happening now, in our clinics, our communities, and through the quiet leadership of our women.

In Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Organisations (ACCHOs) across the country, women are coming in, asking questions, making choices, and taking control of their own health. That is how change happens. Not through campaigns and slogans, but through genuine conversations, respect, and a system that listens first.

Australia has a national plan, and the World Health Organisation has set a global pathway: vaccinate, screen, treat. The structure is clear, but structure alone doesn’t move people. What makes the difference is trust. It’s a woman walking into a service where she is known, respected, and supported. It’s being given a choice that fits her comfort, her culture, and her life. When care feels right, women take part, and that is exactly what we are seeing across our sector.

Major funding boost to create 900 Indigenous ranger jobs for First Nations people

More than 900 new Indigenous ranger jobs will be created across the country, as the federal government works to double the number of Indigenous rangers by the end of the decade.

Seventeen new projects will be funded in the Northern Territory out of a total 82 across the nation, as part of a $190 million investment over three years.

All new projects will have dedicated positions for women, which will see about half of the new ranger positions held by First Nations women.

Round two of the Indigenous Rangers Program (IRP) Expansion builds on last year’s round, which created more than 1000 ranger jobs across the country and welcomed 80 new

Tharawal Aboriginal Medical Service – Strong, deadly and screened: a focused day with lasting impact

At Tharawal Aboriginal Medical Service on Dharawal Country, a simple idea, to host a community-led cervical screening day, turned into a transformative moment for women’s health. Before the event, screening coverage hovered around 52 per cent, with many women eligible but not yet screened.

The women’s health team asked themselves a practical question: How can we make this easier, more comfortable, and more meaningful for our women?

The answer came through meticulous preparation and deep community connection. In the weeks leading up to the event, staff reviewed, cleaned and updated records, identified eligible women, and reached out personally to offer screening, through phone calls, home visits, and informal chats. Partnering with Family Planning NSW, Tharawal built a safe and welcoming environment where women could choose self-collection or clinician collection without pressure or long waits.

Thriving Kids reforms a possible ‘Medicare Moment’ for Indigenous children, SNAICC says

Australia’s ‘Thriving Kids’ reforms have the potential to be this generation’s Medicare moment, according to the head of the peak body for Indigenous children.

The Independent Review into the National Disability Insurance Scheme recommended creating a new system of supports for children outside the NDIS.

In response, the federal government says it will work with states and territories, experts and communities to “design and implement reforms to information, programs and services for children with developmental difference, delay or disability and their families”.

According to a factsheet on ‘Thriving Kids’, the reforms are “focused on ensuring children and their families are well supported and able to thrive”. A Thriving Kids Advisory Group, co-chaired by Professor Frank Oberklaid, has been established to advise Health Minister Mark Butler on the program’s design and rollout.

Appearing before the Standing Committee on Health, Aged Care and Disability on Monday, SNAICC chief executive Catherine Liddle said the reforms could deliver “generational change for our children” but cautioned that “if we get it wrong, these incredible reforms that everyone has been working on may lay shattered in pieces”.

Worsening suicide crisis requires urgent national action, say Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peak groups

Content warning: this article contains reference to suicide. Please refer to the services at the bottom of this article for support.

The Commonwealth, State and Territory governments must accelerate their investment in community-led suicide prevention initiatives, say three leading mental health groups, responding to a further increase in suicides of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.

Data for 2024, released today by the Australian Bureau of Statistics*, shows:

  • Suicides of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people have increased to 306 – the highest number ever and an 8% increase on 283 suicides in 2023. This is the third consecutive year of increase.
  • The suicide rate for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women has fallen slightly while for men it has risen. Among Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people who die by suicide, four in five are male.
  • Western Australia and South Australia had the highest Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander suicide rates. NSW recorded the greatest increase in suicides of Aboriginal people, with the rate doubling in the past decade.
  • There were 70 suicides of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children between 2021 and 2024, a quarter of whom were aged 14 or younger. Of all deaths of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children, 21% were suicides.
  • The trend in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander suicides contrasts with non-Aboriginal Australians, in whom there has been a slight reduction for both males and females.

The further deterioration means suicide will remain among four of a total 17 outcomes under the National Agreement on Closing the Gap that are deemed “worsening, not on track”, alongside child development, child removals and incarceration rates.

Orange Aboriginal Medical Service (OAMS) – Own it in Orange: Women choosing screening their way

On Wiradjuri Country, the team at Orange Aboriginal Medical Service (OAMS) has rewritten what cervical screening looks and feels like for women. The service’s approach is grounded in listening first and in understanding the personal, cultural, and emotional factors that shape each woman’s decision to screen. Screening has shifted from something avoided to something embraced, because the process now starts with respect.
Self-collection has been a turning point. For many women, it removes the discomfort and loss of privacy that once kept them away. At OAMS, Aboriginal Health Workers and nurses introduce the option gently, in everyday health conversations about family, wellbeing, and chronic-disease prevention and care. The emphasis is not on ticking a box but on ensuring every woman feels safe, informed, and in control.
“When women feel safe and supported to take that step, it’s not just about prevention, it’s about confidence and caring for families over the long term,” said Anne-Marie Mepham, Chronic Disease Coordinator.

A retrospective cross‐sectional analysis of the economic impact of environmental risk factors on inpatient hospital separations in the Northern Territory

Abstract

Objectives: To quantify the cost of hospital separations attributable to environmental risk factors in the Northern Territory, including for Indigenous and remote subgroups.

Study design: A retrospective cross‐sectional secondary data analysis of hospital separations data. Data collection, analysis and presentation were guided by our Indigenous Steering Committee.

Setting and participants: All episodes of care from 1 July 2021 to 30 June 2022 with an inpatient separation (discharge, transfer, death) from NT public hospitals were included. Non‐inpatient episodes of care (outpatient, emergency department and primary care presentations) were excluded.

Major outcome measures: Individual hospital separations were classified as environmentally attributable if the International statistical classification of diseases and related health problems, 10th revision, Australian modification (ICD‐10‐AM) code for their primary diagnosis matched an included disease. Included diseases were based on environmental attributable fractions previously generated for the Kimberley region, contextualised to the NT. Costs were assigned to individual hospital separations based on activity‐based funding allocations.

NACCHO Media Release: Strong women. Strong health. Ending cervical cancer together.

Today, on World Cervical Cancer Elimination Day, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women and the community-controlled health sector are being recognised for their vital leadership in Australia’s progress toward eliminating cervical cancer, with screening participation continuing to lift across Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Organisations (ACCHOs).

Across services reporting national performance data, the proportion of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women recorded as up to date with cervical screening has risen from 38.9 per cent in December 2021 to 49.4 per cent in December 2024 The number of women recorded with HPV screening up to date increased from 30,000 to 45,000 during these years – which means an extra 15,000 women within the reporting cohort during a period of ongoing patient growth1. While these figures reflect only women recorded through reporting ACCHOs, they clearly demonstrate the impact of local engagement, culturally informed practice, and the broader uptake of HPV self-collection, a screening option that respects privacy, autonomy, and comfort.

Hearts of Australia launches HEART 7 mobile health clinic bringing specialist care closer to remote WA

A state-of-the-art mobile health clinic is making its maiden voyage across remote WA helping to screen for lung cancer and deliver life-saving specialist care to the bush.

Heart of Australia’s brand new HEART 7 truck will be rolling into regional towns from next week — with the Pilbara, Kimberley, and Midwest regions first cab off the rank.

“We are incredibly proud to see the first truck of our national expansion hit the road. To date, we’ve treated almost 20,000 patients, directly saved more than 900 lives,” Heart of Australia Founder Rolf Gomes said.

“This next phase means we can deliver health benefits across the nation – and WA is the perfect place to start.”

Funded by the Federal Government, the clinic will initially deliver the National Lung Cancer Screening Program with the potential to expand to other specialist services in the future.

National Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Organisation deputy chief executive Dawn Casey said the service would bring vital care closer to home for First Nations communities where the rate of lung cancer is high.

“We cannot afford to wait; early detection is critical. That is why this program matters. Our people must have care that is effective and culturally safe, delivered in ways that respect community and Country,” Dr Casey said.

From Trainee to Vital Healthcare Provider: How CareFlight Training Strengthens Remote Communities

In the small Northern Territory community of Belyuen, local primary healthcare worker Sharon Walker is making a lasting impact, thanks to targeted training programs delivered by CareFlight.

Sharon, a proud Aboriginal woman from the Top End, returned to study in her 50s, enrolling in the Certificate IV in Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander Primary Health Care Practice at Batchelor Institute. Originally working in aged care and later as a full-time ambulance driver, Sharon was inspired to pursue formal study in primary healthcare to give back to her community.

As part of the course, she completed three CareFlight emergency training programs: Remote Trauma Care, Sick Kids in the Bush (SIKITB), and Resuscitation training, which included hands-on simulations of adult and paediatric emergencies, car crashes, bush incidents, and low-resource scenarios.
“CareFlight’s training is above and beyond any other training I’ve had,” Sharon says.
“The remote training is perfect because it shows how to deal with trauma incidents using whatever resources you have, which isn’t a lot.”

New campaign to promote free lung cancer screening program

Reinforcing that when it comes to lung cancer It’s Good to Know early, the Albanese Government’s new national campaign will encourage eligible Australians to take part in the National Lung Cancer Screening Program.

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in Australia and has low survival rates. Early diagnosis is fundamental to improving outcomes.

The National Lung Cancer Screening Program will save hundreds of lives every year by detecting lung cancer at earlier stages, when survival rates are higher.

The program is already making a difference, with over 25,900 low-dose CT scans completed since it launched on 1 July 2025, with an average of 257 Australians getting a scan each day.

The program is now available for Australians aged 50 to 70 who currently smoke or have a smoking history.

First Nations Australians have around 3 times the prevalence of dementia of other Australians and face distinct aged care needs that are not well accommodated by mainstream services.

Dementia Training Australia (DTA) has commissioned National Ageing Research Institute (NARI) to produce PITCH First Nations, an evidence-based training package for home care workers who work with First Nations Elders and older people living with dementia. The project draws on the Promoting Independence Through quality Care at Home (PITCH) training previously developed at NARI.

PITCH First Nations will redevelop the original PITCH training to be culturally relevant, safe, appropriate and tailored to the needs of First Nations people. The training is being redeveloped via a collaborative process with First Nations communities and co-researchers embedded in Aboriginal Community Controlled (ACCO) aged care services, through Yarning Circles with First Nations Elders and older people.

Over $9 million for health and medical research partnerships

The Australian Government is strengthening research partnerships that will deliver better care for Aboriginal communities across Australia, with more than $9 million invested in new health and medical research projects.

Through the National Health and Medical Research Council’s (NHMRC) Partnership Project scheme, the government is contributing $4 million, with an additional $5 million committed by funding partners.

Three chief investigators and their teams will lead projects, working hand in hand with partners to turn evidence into practical improvements in Aboriginal health services and outcomes.

Professor Asha Bowen from the University of Western Australia will work closely with Aboriginal Elders and community members to develop an Aboriginal health practitioner-led skin health assessment and research evaluation initiative.

Skin conditions that can lead to bacterial infections are common among Aboriginal children and can reduce their quality of life and lead to serious illness. There is an urgent need for better skin health services for Aboriginal children.

In partnership with the Child and Adolescent Health and South Metropolitan Health Services, this project will identify and treat harmful skin conditions in Aboriginal children leading to better outcomes.

Exclusive: Noongar medical student Shakayla Walley-Wihongi and team pioneers a new pathway to treat syphilis

23-year-old soon-to-be doctor Shakayla Walley-Wihongi, with a team of scientific powerhouses, has blazed a trail in the treatment of syphilis.

In its most dangerous form of mother-to-child transmission (MTCT), the illness claims the lives of 40 per cent of babies born with congenital syphilis. However, perinatal death is 100 per cent preventable.

Syphilis remains at an all-time high with a 251 per cent increase in Australia in the last decade, according to the University of New South Wales’ annual surveillance report released in 2023.Ms Walley-Wihongi graduated with her Honours in Biomedical Science at the University of Notre Dame with the penicillin team at The Kids Research Institute Australia, a research facility that focuses on improving the lives of children who require medical support.

The Australian syphilis epidemic disproportionately impacts two distinct populations: heterosexual Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Mob whose residences are dispersed across rural and remote communities, and urban living men who have sex with men.

Ms Walley-Wihongi’s primary supervisor, Associate Professor Laurens Manning of the University of Western Australia’s Medical School, conceptualised the subcutaneous infusion of benzathine penicillin G (SCIP) with the wider Penicillin team, before Shakayla’s academic journey.

Study shows world-first Australian preterm birth prevention program is working

New data has shown that a world-first initiative to reduce preterm births in Australia has led to a significant decrease in rates of potentially harmful early birth and improved pregnancy outcomes for women across the country.

Published in The Lancet Obstetrics, Gynaecology, & Women’s Health, the study presents detailed outcomes from a six-year preterm birth prevention program first introduced in mid-2018.

Preterm birth – defined as birth before 37 completed weeks of pregnancy – remains a leading cause of death and long-term disability in children worldwide.

In response to rising rates of potentially harmful early birth across the country, the Australian Preterm Birth Prevention Alliance launched a comprehensive preterm birth prevention program in 2018.

Professor of Obstetrics at The University of Western Australia, and Chair and Founder of the Australian Preterm Birth Prevention Alliance, Professor John Newnham said the ‘proof of concept’ phase for the program had been modelled on a pioneering initiative delivered in Western Australia.

“From 2018-2021, broad implementation of preterm birth prevention strategies across the country through the Alliance were found to have lowered the rate of preterm birth by 10 per cent,” Professor Newnham said.

It’s good to know: Lung cancer screening is free and could save your life!

We are launching a new campaign, supported by the Australian Government, to raise awareness of the National Lung Cancer Screening Program. 

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related death in Australia, but with lung screening we can change this. If found early, over 65% of lung cancers can be successfully treated.  

If you’re aged 50 to 70 and have a history of smoking, talk to your doctor or healthcare provider about lung screening.

2025 AAPMAANZ: ACCHO model of care

Dr Jason Agostino, NACCHO Senior Medical Advisor presented at the 2025 AAPMAANZ Conference with South Coast Women’s Health and Wellbeing Aboriginal Corporation’s Tashia Hanuki and Kalinda Wills. The group discussed the Aboriginal Communtiy Controlled Health Organisation (ACCHO) model of care.  

For many Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, health is deeply connected to land, sea, language, culture, and community relationships. These connections manifest differently from one individual or community to another. The Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community-controlled comprehensive primary healthcare model seeks to translate these unique and intrinsic values into a framework for delivering health services.

The model is built around four core domains that ensure healthcare services are locally defined and culturally responsive. These include governance, clinical services, policy direction and partnership, and community health promotion and empowerment.

The Beautiful Shawl Project is coming to Rumbalara Aboriginal Co-Operative

From 20-25 October, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women can access free breast screens on board the Breast Screen Victoria mobile screening van at Rumbalara Aboriginal Co-operative in Mooroopna.

Every person who screens will receive a Beautiful Shawl to wear during the screening and take home afterwards. This year’s Goolum Goolum shawl was designed by Yorta Yorta artist, April Atkinson.

Describing her artwork, April says, “My art piece represents a Yorta Itjumatj Bayi which means healthy breast in the Yorta Yorta language. The middle symbol represents the nipple and areola, and also represents women sitting. The brown stems and pink flowers that flow off the nipple represent the veins and ducts of a woman’s bayi (breast). The strong blossom of the flower shows how strong women are within their bodies and the flowers that have not yet blossomed are the new beginnings ready to grow. And finally, the wiggled lines along the border and behind the nipple and ducts represents the stretch marks that many women are blessed to have.”
