When Curalo Medical Clinic set out to improve cultural safety for Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander patients, the team soon learnt that subtle inclusions, such as meaningful visual artwork in local language, acknowledgement of the land that we gather on and being greeted with a smile at the reception desk, communicated respect and effort in ways that were valued. 

COORDINARE provided a Culturally Safe Care grant as part of funding from the Australian Government PHN program which enabled the Clinic to engage in genuine consultation with a representation of Aboriginal patients that attended their practice.
