Building Respectful and Effective Partnerships with Aboriginal Health Workers
How can rural doctors establish genuinely respectful and effective partnerships with Aboriginal health workers?
In this episode of RG Life Hacks, Dr Emily Moody speaks with Dr Nicolette Roux and Aboriginal health worker Tamara Murray from the Wuchopperen Health Service in Cairns.
Nicci and Tamara share what culturally safe, community-led care looks like in practice, and the vital role Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health workers play in coordinating clinics, supporting communication, and ensuring patients feel seen and understood.
They also provide practical guidance for registrars on effective listening, yarning, and recognising the expertise that Aboriginal health workers bring to team-based care.
A valuable conversation for anyone working in rural and remote settings who wishes to strengthen partnerships and deliver safer, more connected care.
Kick off the new year with hands-on, high-impact training designed for Rural Generalists. Our courses aim to build practical capability across emergency care, resuscitation, paediatrics, ultrasound and more.
The Certificate: Advancing Mental Health care through medical excellence
Would you like to deepen your expertise in psychiatry to better support patients' mental health?
The Certificate of Postgraduate Training in Clinical Psychiatry (the Certificate) has been specifically designed for medical practitioners working in mental health settings. This program supports the professional development of non-psychiatry medical staff such as CMOs and GPs, helping to strengthen the workforce and meet the growing needs of our communities.
Through a structured, hands-on learning pathway, participants will gain practical psychiatric knowledge and skills to enhance clinical confidence, improve patient outcomes, and boost career satisfaction.
Monash University researchers are inviting Australian health professionals to take their 10-minute online survey. The survey aims to capture your views about guideline currency and about living guidelines.
