Indigenous hospital liaison service

Our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Liaison Officers are the link between our health services and the community.

They can:

• explain hospital services and procedures to you and your family
• visit you in hospital, and at home when you leave hospital
• refer you to other Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander support services
• give you information about community services.

How to access this service

If you're in one of our hospitals or health centres, let us know if you'd like to see one of our liaison officers and we'll arrange this for you.
