25.01.2022 For more than 200 years, the Australian governments acted under the presumption that Australia belonged to no-one before colonisation. That legal concept, known as "terra nullius", stripped Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people of their traditional rights to their lands and attempted to sever connections to cultures dating back 65,000 years. June 3 marks the momentous victory to overturn that precedent in the High Court and honours the legacy of the man behind it Edd...ie Mabo. Here at NAPHL, we commemorate Mabo Day and continue to explore how we can contribute to achieving reconciliation in Australia. #MaboDay #Reconciliation #NRW2021 #MoreThanAWord
25.01.2022 Are you a Veteran who has recently transitioned out of the Defence Force? Look out for the 'Health After Service' sticker at your General Practice. This means your GP has specialised knowledge to support ex-service personnel and their families. You’ve done your duty. Let your health professionals know that you are ex-defence so they can do theirs to support you and your family through the transition. ...

24.01.2022 We couldn't agree more with Exercise Right that exercise is medicine. Exercise Physiology is an often misunderstood allied health discipline as many people think they are the same as personal trainers or Physiotherapists. Exercise Physiologists assess, prescribe, supervise and monitor exercise and lifestyle programs designed to achieve specific health outcomes. They can help people with a range of conditions such as Diabetes, Cancer, Chronic Respiratory Disease and Obesity.... We have some great Accredited Exercise Physiologists at our NAPHL Health Hub in Townsville. Give us a call on 4722 8750 to book an appointment or for more information visit: https://www.naphl.com.au/exercise-physiology-hub

22.01.2022 More than a word. Reconciliation takes action. Today marks the beginning of Reconciliation Week 2021. It's a really important week for us. At NAPHL, an informal reconciliation journey has been enduring across our organisation in many ways and for many years. Twenty per cent of our workforce currently identify as Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander people and these voices are central in discussions and work around recognition, reconciliation and fostering mutually respe...ctful, meaningful, and inclusive relationships with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples across our region. As an organisation, we share the vision of Reconciliation Australia of a just, equitable and reconciled Australia. That's why we're excited to be launching a Reflect Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) very soon. #NRW2021 #MoreThanAWord #Reconciliation

19.01.2022 What does NAIDOC Week mean to you?
18.01.2022 For Dan Knapp, NAIDOC Week is a time to not only celebrate and share culture, but also reflect on the adversity that our nation’s First People have faced and overcome.
