Your website has truly inspired me! Thank you so much.
An excellent website so well set out and clear and full of great resources. The site is very user friendly. Suggest it should be a link on all tertiary institutions websites teaching especially health and education disciplines to further publicise.
Great site...I love hearing about what's happening all over the country. I work in mainstream mental health rehab but have indigenous clients as well....the info imparted on this site helps me greatly.
Thank you for including me. This is a deadly website with a wealth of information. Good luck Billy Ray with your up and coming Bush Tucker garden trail.
As a psychology and Health Promotion student with a keen interest in Indigenous health and well being this web resource is excellent.
We are looking for men to join our men's shed, we hope to establish a new garden when we build our new workshop and a part of this new garden we would like experienced men who can help to build a aboriginal bush tucker garden. This would be used to educate people in Newcastle area to what is good bush tucker. Some city folk go bush walking with no idea of bush survival and they end up become another new story of lost in the bush and starved to death, when there was plenty to eat around them. So even though we are in a City, education of our environmental needs is important.
Great site. Would like to see it publicised more, as none of my non-Indigenous work colleagues were aware it existed - let alone the significance of Close The Gap.
Great links with other states.
The Australian Indigenous Health InfoNet website is excellent and first class for all Australians. Priority in Indigenous healthcare and encouraging healthier lifestyles in Indigenous communities will eventually reflect an improvement in healthcare for all Australians.
Deadly web site full of information

Hi Joyce

Warm regards,
Australian Indigenous HealthInfoNet
It is a great site, well done people's.
Great website,was interesting to see whats available,do you send out newsletter by email?
The Australian Indigenous HealthInfoNet is an information resource that aims to present the full scope of research, policy and action on Australian Indigenous health. The latest publications, reports, resources, theses, conference presentations and websites are published through our electronic journal, the HealthBulletin (http://healthbulletin.org.au/). You can subscribe via RSS, email or Twitter and email notifications come out twice weekly.
Much of what we update on our web pages is tweeted through the appropriate Twitter account. This includes all news as well as funding, job opportunities and conferences. The general HealthInfoNet Twitter accounts are here:
• HealthInfoNet: http://twitter.com/#!/HealthInfoNet
• HealthBulletin: http://twitter.com/#!/aihbulletin
We have also developed electronic networks called Yarning Places. These are divided by health topic area so it would be worth joining a few to be kept up to date. All members can send out messages via a group email called message stick (this is moderated by us). You can join here: http://www.yarning.org.au/
Additionally, there is a general message stick (AIH list serve) which can be accessed from the homepage. Like the Yarning Places message stick, all members can send out messages (also moderated). Using this you will be kept up-to-date by other members with what is happening in Indigenous health: http://www.healthinfonet.ecu.edu.au/key-resources/message-stick
Finally, we have a facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/healthinfonet
By signing up or following at least two preferred communication choices (HealthBulletin, Yarning places, General message stick, Twitter, Facebook), you will get most of our news. These information networks and sources are free to all.
