24-May-2010Minister for Indigenous Affairs, Jenny Macklin and Minister for Indigenous Health, Warren Snowdon, have welcomed the release of the National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Women's Health Strategy. The strategy, developed by the Australian Women's Health Network (AWHN) Aboriginal Women's Talking Circle, seeks to address the gap between Indigenous and non-Indigenous women's health. The AWHN received $99,450 from the Rudd Government to support the Aboriginal Women's Talking Circle to consult with more than 400 Indigenous women across Australia on health issues, gaps, and barriers to services for the strategy.
