This week is NAIDOC Week, a time to celebrate and recognise the history, culture and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. At Cura Day Hospitals Group, we acknowledge this year’s theme and its focus on strength, connection and cultural continuity, aligned with our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander (ATSI) Patient Care Guidelines and our commitment to culturally safe, respectful and person-centred care.
For five decades, NAIDOC Week has elevated the voices of communities, honouring Elders, celebrating culture and recognising the resilience and leadership of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. It reminds us of the importance of listening, learning and embedding culturally capable practices that recognise the holistic nature of health, including connection to Country, family and community.
NAIDOC is more than a week. It reinforces our shared responsibility to deliver care that is respectful, culturally safe and responsive to the needs of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. Through our ATSI Patient Care Guidelines, we continue to strengthen our approach, ensuring every patient interaction reflects dignity, understanding and connection.
