East Metropolitan Health Service (EMHS) recognises the Whadjuk people of the Noongar Nation as the traditional owners of the land which we live, learn and work on today. We acknowledge that the Whadjuk people have a continuing spiritual and cultural connection to this land and pay respect to all Noongar Elders past, present and emerging. We welcome all Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal people to our services.
Acknowledgment of our Aboriginal community
The voice of the Aboriginal community is reflected in the EMHS 2021-22 Annual Report to ensure cultural appropriateness, and that the health impacts on Aboriginal people have been considered and incorporated.
