23.01.2022 Kerry and Colleen from Poche NT can't wait to get to the launch. They've just landed from Alice and are awaiting their flight to Canberra.

21.01.2022 What does our logo mean? Graphic designer, Jodie Brennan explains... The logo artwork depicts the river systems that meander across the Australian landscape. Rivers and waterways are considered to be the livelihood of Indigenous culture, similar to the blood that keeps us alive. The yellow circles are gathering or meeting places which are scattered across the landscape, which represent the Poche Health Centres and those who use the services. Jodie is Director of Mazart D...esign Studio. http://www.mazartdesignstudio.com/ Thanks for your amazing work Jodie - we love it!

08.01.2022 On Wednesday the national Poche Indigenous Health Network is being launched in Canberra. As a result of the tremendous generosity of a combined $50 million dona...tion by philanthropists Greg Poche AO and his wife Kay Van Norton Poche, a network of six independent centres of research and study focused on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health has been created. The Poches, along with their friend and co-founder Reg Richardson AM, saw an opportunity for the skills, expertise and resources of universities to be harnessed to improve Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health. They also saw the opportunity to inform heath care policy and practice through the information gained from each centres experience and research. Due to their vision, a network of Poche Centres now exists across the country, focussing some of the nations most astute minds to address some of our most complex health problems. The Poche Indigenous Health Network, to be launched this week in Canberra, has been established to amplify the strengths and successes of individual centres at The University of Sydney, Flinders University, The University of Western Australia, The University of Melbourne and the University of Queensland. Patron and Chair of the Poche Network, Professor Tom Calma AO said, "The Poche Network is an important initiative to advance Indigenous health in Australia. With a focus on turning research into outcomes, we will be harnessing some of the best minds around the country to focus on wicked problems and creative solutions that will deliver lasting benefits to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
