Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander fertility care

Culturally safe fertility care for First Nations people.

Clinics and care

Culturally safe care means services that respect kinship, community and cultural obligations, and that work with Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Organisations where people choose. Access barriers are greater in regional and remote areas, and Aboriginal Liaison Officers and Aboriginal Health Workers can support navigation, travel assistance and communication with clinics.

Also known as: First Nations fertility, Indigenous fertility care, culturally safe care
