Success stories in Indigenous health
The following information has been adapted from information provided by ANTaR
Australians for Native Title and Reconciliation (ANTaR) have published a booklet of success stories in Indigenous health. The aim of the booklet is to highlight Indigenous led health care initiatives across Australia that are successful through the engagement of Indigenous communities, adequate funding and support. A map is provided on the ANTaR website to depict where the success stories have occurred. The Rio Tinto Aboriginal Foundation and the Mercy Foundation provide financial support to ANTaR for the Success Stories in Indigenous Health.
ANTaR invites you to contact them with information on your success stories in Indigenous health.
