Deadly Doctor Day 2 kicked off with a Cultural Walk, Talk & Smoking Ceremony on beautiful Bidjigal Country at Kamay, Brighton-Le-Sands Beach. A meaningful start to the day, grounding us in Culture, Country and Connection before another full day of clinical education and knowledge sharing.

Today's program features sessions on:
- Stimulant and opioid use
- Genomics in ACCHOs
- Type 2 diabetes in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander youth
- Point-of-care testing
- ADHD
- A special Yarning & Q&A session with Dr Kerry Chant AO

As we wrap up two deadly days, we celebrate the valuable yarns, connections and shared commitment to strengthening Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health across the ACCHO sector.

A big thank you to our speakers, attendees and everyone who helped make this year's forum a success!

We look forward to seeing you all again next year! 🙌

Know what’s normal for you by checking your breasts every month. Don’t wait for the breast screening bus every two years.

Remind your sistas and aunties, and have a yarn with your young girls about breast checks so they start early and know what’s normal for them. No shame, just staying strong for you, your family and your mob.

Self checks are important between screenings to catch anything before it can turn serious. If you notice something new or different don’t wait for your next screen. Yarn with your health worker. They can organise the right follow up for you.

If you don’t know how to suss out your susus, ask a health worker at your ACCHO – they’ll talk you through what to look for.

This past week, our AH&MRC team member and CCC Jurisdictional Coordinator attended the NACCHO National Culture Care Connect Summit, which took place on Arrernte Country in Mparntwe (Alice Springs).

It was great to see some of our Member Services come together, including Galambila Aboriginal Corporation, Bourke Aboriginal Corporation Health Service, Waminda - South Coast Women's Health & Wellbeing Aboriginal Corp. Katungul, Albury Wodonga Aboriginal Health Service and Awabakal Ltd.

AH&MRC acknowledges and thanks all services involved for their ongoing dedication and commitment to improving the health and wellbeing of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

World Mental Health Day | 10 October 💚

Our mental health is part of our overall health and wellbeing.

For Aboriginal communities, connection to culture, Country, family and community play an important role in supporting social and emotional wellbeing.

Today is a reminder to check in with yourself and the people around you. Make time for a yarn, stay connected and reach out for support when you need it.

You don’t have to go through things on your own.
