Yesterday, Connected Beginnings Lutruwita/Tasmania proudly represented the Tasmanian Aboriginal Centre at a Tasmanian Government parliamentary inquiry focused on reproductive, maternal, and paediatric health services for the Aboriginal community of Lutruwita/Tasmania. This was a significant opportunity to advocate for Tasmanian Aboriginal children, their mothers, and families, aiming to improve services for all. The inquiry is dedicated to addressing the adequacy, accessibility, and safety of these services across Tasmania. Recommendations were provided on how to enhance reproductive, maternal, and paediatric care for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander families. A key focus of our discussion was the importance of continuity of care and place-based maternal and child health services, away from an institutional setting that caters primarily to sick individuals. By ensuring consistent, culturally appropriate support, the Tasmanian government and key health services can build a stronger foundation for families, leading to better health outcomes and a more connected community. It was a rich discussion, and collectively, we have a unique opportunity to co-design a healthier future for our Aboriginal children and families. Our shared agenda must be to ensure that every Aboriginal child is born healthy and strong, that every family has the support they need, and that our cultural safety is prioritised within our health systems. https://lnkd.in/gJbuKaxf Ella Haddad Hon Jacquie Petrusma MP Raylene Foster Chloe Woolnough Seven Network Kristy Johnston #connectedbeginnings #lutruwita #aboriginalchildren #tasmaniangovernment
