05 March 2010 RACGP National Faculty of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health
The RACGP has a new faculty, the RACGP National Faculty of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health. The college is committed to raising GP awareness of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health needs and their cultural context, and to advocating for culturally appropriate health delivery systems, which improve health outcomes. The faculty is headed by Dr Brad Murphy as its inaugural Chair, an Aboriginal man from the Kamilaroi people of northwest New South Wales. The National Standing Committee – Aboriginal Health will oversee the establishment of the faculty and will be undertaking an extensive consultation process in the coming months. To express interest in the new faculty or to register to take part in future consultations, email aboriginalhealthunit@racgp.org.au.
