Ballarat Health Services and Ballarat and District Aboriginal Co-operative came together this week to celebrate their continued efforts in the field of health.
A dinner was held on Monday to focus on cultural awareness of indigenous patients within mainstream health services.
BADOC chief executive officer Karen Heap said the event demonstrated BHS’ willingness to engage with indigenous patients and indigenous staff members.
BHS chief executive officer Andrew Rowe said there was still much work to be done to close the 10-year life expectancy gap between indigenous and non-indigenous Australians.
