GOULBURN Valley Health Aboriginal mental health liaison officers provide culturally safe support to our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander consumers accessing acute inpatient services.

The Aboriginal definition of health is broad and includes the physical, social, emotional and cultural wellbeing of the individual and their whole community.

Aboriginal mental health liaison officers work with both consumers and treating teams to determine treatment plans that consider Social and Emotional Well-Being, a strength-based approach.
