The EAS support clinicians who identify as a First Nations person, or who are working with Mob in the city and remote communities.

Our support line provides a safe space where Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures are valued, respected and understood. You’ll see a clinician who identifies as Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander, or one with cultural awareness and experience supporting Indigenous communities.
