Indigenous alcohol misuse web resource

We have recently developed an Indigenous alcohol misuse web resource - a ‘one-stop info-shop’ for people working, studying or interested in addressing the misuse of alcohol among Indigenous peoples (view web resource).

The web resource provides quality information and materials about how to prevent and/or minimise the harm associated with the misuse of alcohol among Indigenous peoples. We are still in the process of developing content for this resource, but have decided to make available the information we have already gathered.

The web resource will also support an Indigenous alcohol misuse yarning place by providing electronic services that encourage information sharing and collaboration among the full range of people working in health and related sectors. The yarning place will be available later this month.

Indigenous HeartInfoNet web resource and yarning place

We have recently expanded our cardiovascular disease webpages and they are now referred to as the Indigenous HeartInfoNet web resource - a ‘one-stop info-shop’ for people working, studying or interested in cardiovascular disease among Indigenous peoples (view web resource).

The web resource provides quality information and materials on the primary and secondary prevention and management of cardiovascular conditions among Indigenous peoples. We are still in the process of developing content for this resource, but have decided to make available the information we have already gathered.

The web resource also supports an Indigenous HeartInfoNetwork yarning place by providing electronic services that encourage information sharing and collaboration among the full range of people working in health and related sectors. The yarning place is now available online and membership is free. Anyone working, studying or interested in issues surrounding cardiovascular disease among Indigenous Australians is encouraged to join (more information).
