Description

The Australian Indigenous Health Promotion Knowledge Network is dedicated to improving the health of Indigenous Australians. The Network has agreed to ensure that its foundation is to support and provide information to communities; become a reference group in Indigenous health promotion; convey positive work that is being carried out to promote Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health; articulate the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health promotion role; influence public policy and support partnership models; continue to work to build sustainable partnerships with mainstream organisations in health promotion; encourage members to share and reflect on best practice in Indigenous health promotion, establish standards for education on Indigenous health and health promotion; and, inform professionals of Indigenous health and health promotion standards.
