Ahpra and the National Boards acknowledge the Traditional Owners of Country throughout Australia and their continuing connection to lands, waters and communities. We pay our respects to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures and Elders past and present.

The National Scheme is committed to patient safety for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples. Through shared leadership and application of the National Law, we work to ensure that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples have access to, and work within, a health system that is culturally safe and free from racism.
