Queensland Health and the Australian Indigenous HealthInfoNet have launched a new Queensland Portal, which provides Queensland-specific health information and resources to support anyone working or studying in First Nations health in Queensland, including students, academics and policy makers.
Funded by the Queensland Government Department of Health, the new portal includes a map that allows users to filter content by Queensland’s Hospital and Health Services for a faster, more efficient search for relevant publications, resources, programs, organisations, courses and jobs.
The Portal also supports the workforce with information on Queensland-specific events and funding opportunities.
HealthInfoNet Director, Professor Bep Uink said: “This freely accessible portal will help support and inform the health workforce in Queensland by providing them with up-to-date, relevant and evidence-based resources for First Nations peoples. I am delighted that Queensland Health has chosen the HealthInfoNet to provide and keep updated this curated culturally safe collection to support their ongoing initiatives in improving health outcomes for their First Nations population groups”.
Queensland Health’s, Chief First Nations Health Officer Haylene Grogan, who heads up the First Nations Health Office said: “The Queensland portal will facilitate access to evidence-based health information about First Nations peoples. I’m excited by the possibilities this offers in supporting improved health outcomes for our people”.
The Queensland Portal is located on the HealthInfoNet website.
Users can freely access up-todate information and culturally appropriate resources on First Nations health in Queensland.
