Impact systems for a healthier, fairer Victoria for First Nations people
- Newly created role to influence and enable change

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.
You will develop and nurture strong relationships across VicHealth and with key external stakeholders, including state government, and will also work directly with VicHealth's Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander partner organisations, and with communities and stakeholders, to effect change in the systems where Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities in Victoria live, work and play.
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.
