Funded Activity Summary

Our novel and exciting multi-agency project will provide maternity care for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women living in Brisbane. It will help ‘close the gap’ in maternal and infant health outcomes and provide much needed evidence-based information to redesign services across the country. Three organisations are involved as equal partners: the Institute of Urban Indigenous Health; the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Community Health Service; and the Mater Mother’s Hospital.
