Indigenous Allied Health Australia (IAHA) congratulates the Albanese-Labor Government on their recent Federal election victory, with the Australian people electing the Government for a second term, in a landslide result.

Kamilaroi woman Ms Nicole Turner, Chairperson of IAHA, said “we congratulate the Prime Minister, Anthony Albanese, as well as Mark Butler MP and Senator Malarndirri McCarthy for their re- appointments in the Health and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Affairs portfolios respectively. We also thank and acknowledge the outgoing Assistant Minister for Indigenous Health, Ged Kearney MP, for her support and leadership during her time in the role and congratulate the incoming Assistant Minister for Indigenous Health Rebecca White MP for her appointment”.

Ms Turner continued that “IAHA welcome the opportunity to grow meaningful relationships, in supporting the important work we do to grow, strengthen and empower a skilled, and culturally responsive Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander allied health workforce. This is a workforce who demonstrate daily leadership across broad portfolio areas, delivering positive Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health, wellbeing, cultural and social outcomes, but who could be further enabled to achieve more”.
