The Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Cultural Education Unit plays a key role in GP Synergy’s commitment to closing the gap.
GP Synergy is proud to partner with Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Services (ACCHSs) across NSW/ACT.
Why become a training practice?
There are a number of useful resources to help you on your cultural awareness journey.
GP Synergy provides a range of education programs and initiatives to support accredited GP training ACCHS facilities.
As part of GP Synergy’s strategic work with Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Services (ACCHSs) in NSW/ACT, GP Synergy is rolling out cultural resource kits that were developed by the Aboriginal Health and Medical Research Council.
The kits provide properly tailored and effective cultural orientation to health workers and staff at ACCHSs.
The Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Cultural Education Unit is working to prepare services and upskill cultural health mentors to tailor and implement the kits at local ACCHSs.
We aim to deliver tailored cultural orientation and training to GP registrars, GP supervisors, Aboriginal health workers and other staff within ACCHSs. A technical committee has been formed and we are piloting the kits with a number of participating sites.
