Improving the health of Aboriginal people is our priority.
Our Aboriginal health staff work in the community to support Healthy Eating and Active Living Programs; cancer screening awareness and accessibility; and sexual health and hepatitis B and C prevention and treatment. We also work with Aboriginal young people to improve their health and wellbeing.

Go4Fun
Go4Fun is a free program for NSW children aged 7 to 13 who are above a healthy weight, and their families. Run by trained health and community professionals, it's a fun way to build self-esteem and learn about eating well, staying active and living a healthy life.
Go4Fun takes place during school terms (usually after school), with sessions running once a week for two hours, over a ten-week period.
Aboriginal Go4Fun has been culturally adapted for Aboriginal Children and their families. It is run in partnership with Sydney Local Health District and the National Centre of Indigenous Excellence.

This video explains why it is important to leave some time between each pregnancy and how you can use birth control (contraception) after having your baby. It shows the different types of contraception. You can also learn where to find support and information to help you make the decisions that are right for you. We made this video with community, for community.
