🤩 CONGRATULATIONS to the Aboriginal Health Strategy Project which was a finalist for the RMCLHN 2026 Excellence in Aboriginal Health Award.

The inaugural RMCLHN Aboriginal Health Strategy 2025–2030 was launched during National Reconciliation Week in 2025. This marked a significant milestone in RMCLHN’s commitment to improving the health and wellbeing of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples across the Riverland Mallee Coorong region.

The Strategy describes how RMCLHN will improve organisational culture, build its Aboriginal workforce, develop stronger partnerships and communication methods with community, and support equitable early access to healthcare services that are culturally safe and respectful.

The Aboriginal Health Strategic Team led a genuine and rigorous co-design process to bring the Strategy to life. They engaged more than 60 community members through Yarning Circles in Berri on Erawirung Country and Murray Bridge on Ngarrindjeri Country, and more than 60 staff and key partners through dedicated workshops.

Data and learnings were then shared with the RMCLHN Aboriginal Employee Network to spark innovative ideas for future opportunities and approaches that were considered important to include in the Strategy. The Strategy sets a clear direction across four pathways for change and captures what RMCLHN heard as being important to Aboriginal communities in our region, now and into the future.

💙 A little reminder from Van of Hope 💙

As much as we love being able to help those in our community who need a meal, we do need to remind everyone that it is one meal per person who comes to the Van.

Last night was an incredibly busy night, and all of our meals had been handed out by 5:40pm.

We completely understand that sometimes people may not be able to make it to the Van themselves. However, to keep things fair and make sure as many people as possible have the opportunity to receive a meal, we unfortunately cannot provide multiple meals for people who are not present.

Our meals are limited each week, and once they're gone, they're gone. By sticking to one meal per person, we can help make sure someone arriving later doesn't miss out because extra meals have already been taken. Unfortunately we will need to become stricter on this ruling.

We truly appreciate everyone's understanding and support. 💙

📍 Corner of West Terrace & Bridge Street, Murray Bridge
🕔 Thursdays | 5:00pm–6:00pm
🍽️ 1 meal per person present | No pre-orders
