About us:
At Central Queensland Hospital and Health Service (CQHHS), our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Equity Strategy 2022–2025 isn't just a document — it's a promise in action. We're rolling up our sleeves to actively eliminate racism, discrimination and systemic barriers in healthcare, while boosting access to the services that matter most.
We're tackling the bigger picture too — the social, cultural and economic factors that shape health outcomes. Most importantly, we're walking alongside Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and communities to co-design, co-deliver and co-implement services that are culturally safe, responsive and built to last.

Aligned with the goals of the CQHHS Health Equity Strategy 2022–2025, this role is all about making a real difference for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children and their families. Working side-by-side with the Senior Allied Health Clinician (Children and Families), you'll provide hands-on clinical and administrative support to help deliver high-level, culturally appropriate care that truly meets community needs. Guided by clear supervision and direction, you'll confidently take on delegated clinical tasks and play an important part in creating a supportive, culturally safe environment where kids and families can thrive.
