Impact systems for a healthier, fairer Victoria for First Nations people

The Manager, First Nations Health Promotion is an exciting, newly created role, and reflects the commitment in our 10 year strategy to the health and wellbeing of First Nations Victorians.

A key aspect will be ensuring that Strong Young Mob, VicHealths governance mechanism with a number of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander partner organisations, transfers decision-making power and resources to community, and builds long-term capacity.

We understand that it is important for this new role to be well-supported, so VicHealth will provide access to a First Nations Employee Assistance Program (EAP), connection to First Nations professional networks within the Victorian Public Service (VPS) and ongoing training on First Nations cultural safety for all staff.
