Aboriginal Health Liaison Team Statement
Dhelkaya Health is located on the traditional lands of the Dja Dja Wurrung People. We pay our respects to their Elders past and present, and acknowledge all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the First Peoples of this nation. Dhelkaya Health is committed to achieving equality in health status between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and non-Indigenous Australians.
