Keeping kids healthy and strong
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children are the youngest people of one of the oldest cultures in the world with rich traditions, lore and customs that have been passed down from generation to generation. They grow up with a strong connection to family, community and country, and are the future of their culture and the carriers and keepers of their stories.
To help ensure these children are given the best start to life, a holistic approach to healthcare which supports their physical, cultural, social and emotional wellbeing is important. The below resources seek to support the overall health and wellbeing of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children, young people and their families across Queensland.
