Brisbane South PHN, Metro South Health, and Children’s Health Queensland are working collaboratively with local community service providers and representatives to develop a unified approach to improving health outcomes for the Pasifika and Māori community in our region. This cross-sector collaboration is guided by the Pasifika and Māori Health and Wellbeing: A Strategic Framework and Action Plan for Brisbane South 2020-2025.

Here on our website, we invite you read the Strategy document, view the Strategy reports and updates, and search for resources and local services for Pasifika and Māori peoples.

A governance group has been established and has collective ownership, oversight and accountability for delivering on the Strategy’s vision.

Members of the governance group include:

• Dr Inez Fainga’a-Manu Sione, Village Connect (Chair)
• Dr Eta Raicebe Oceania Pacific Health Association
• Dr Nicola Fa’avale MANAWISE
