Aboriginal + Torres Strait Islander community

Many Aboriginal people in Victoria enjoy good or excellent health.

However, historical and ongoing environmental, economic and social inequalities have often resulted in poorer health outcomes for many Aboriginal people.

Care that centres on the person, the family and community lies at the heart of good Aboriginal health service delivery, early intervention and prevention. It is locally developed, culturally informed and empowers Aboriginal people to make the best choices about their health.

Accessing sexual and reproductive health care

If you are Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander, or are advocating on behalf of an Aboriginal or Torres Straight Islander person, 1800 My Options can help you find culturally appropriate sexual and reproductive healthcare.

Contact us on 1800 696 784 (Weekdays 9am – 5pm), or email [email protected]
