The Central Adelaide Local Health Network (CALHN) has a strong commitment to the provision of accessible, effective and meaningful services to the Aboriginal communities, families and individuals from metropolitan, rural and remote areas. It also acknowledges the cultural determinants and particular complexities affecting the health and wellbeing of Aboriginal people and the need for a holistic and multi-faceted health approach to service design and delivery.

SA Health is leading significant reform designed to improve the health of all South Australians and meet future challenges, in accordance with the National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Plan and Close the Gap initiatives. The CALHN Aboriginal Health and Wellbeing Hub is implementing new approaches to Aboriginal health. This includes; opportunistic screening and early detection of chronic conditions support for culturally safe acute and ongoing care, and improved discharge planning to improve outcomes, quality and general health care experiences for all Aboriginal patients. This is governed by the CALHN Aboriginal Health Executive Committee.

The SAPHS Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Practitioner will work within the prison setting to assist in implementing and embedding a stronger and more sustainable approach to support Aboriginal patients that are incarcerated, through providing an ‘Aboriginal lens’ to health care and delivering culturally safe care. In collaboration with the multidisciplinary teams assist in assessment and providing clinical intervention to Aboriginal patients, including those with complex needs. They will assist multi-disciplinary team members on culturally appropriate interventions. The service they provide will aim to reduce the risk of Aboriginal patients disengaging with treatment and care plans. They will provide sub-acute health responses, support hospital avoidance and provide support in transitioning Aboriginal patients into community health services. The Practitioner will provide clinical intervention, assessment, care planning and education within their scope of practice.
