Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health
Closing the gap between the health of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and non-Indigenous Australians is a national priority.
At James Cook University (JCU), we acknowledge the Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the Traditional Owners of the lands and waters where we operate our business. We pay our respects to ancestors and Elders, past, present and future.
We honour Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples' unique cultural and spiritual relationships to the land, waters and seas and their rich contribution to the University and society.
JCU delivers a GP training
Two-thirds of Queensland’s approximately 100,000 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people live within the JCU GP training region, which means there are a variety of opportunities for registrars to develop an extended scope of practice in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health.
What is reconciliation?
Reconciliation is an honest and critical understanding of Australia's shared history, and how it has informed the lives of Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and other Australians today.
JCU's Reconciliation Action Plan
Our vision is to build strong relationships, increase respect and improve opportunities for Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. This is important as within our region, a significant proportion of the population identifies as being of Australian Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander origin.

Artwork
In 2018 JCU commissioned Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander artists from across North West Queensland to design artworks that were representative of a story about the provision of healthcare in the community, for the community and by the community. These artworks are now proudly displayed in our regional offices across Queensland and featured in JCU resources.
