First Nations Hub

ARIIA is working on a program that supports First Nations (Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples) aged care providers and workers as part of its broader mission to develop and grow the aged care workforce.

The program aims to enhance the delivery of culturally safe and evidence-informed aged care services for older First Nations people across Australia. By highlighting Indigenous knowledge systems and community-led approaches, it contributes to care environments that are more responsive, respectful, and grounded in the principles of cultural safety and self-determination. 

This program is aligned with and supports a range of Commonwealth funded aged care initiatives for First Nations people.

Journey of care and connection

This artwork, created by proud Wiradjuri woman Amy Kilby from the Riverina in New South Wales, represents ARIIA’s program of work focused on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. It reflects the themes of respect, innovation and collaboration, and honours the role of Elders and communities in shaping the future of aged care.
