Our General Manager of NDIS & Chronic Disease, Claudine, joined our partners at Yakuway Indigenous Corporation to attend a powerful community event at the Hunter Medical Research Institute (HMRI) Imaging Centre earlier this week. The Story of Nakiliko Malang - Seeing Together celebrated the launch of a world-leading MRI upgrade and the growing strength of Indigenous-led research and health collaboration.
The event reinforced what we know to be true - the most effective First Nations health outcomes are community-owned, culturally grounded and co-designed with Aboriginal peoples. This is the same model guiding the work Hunter Primary Care and Yakuway are building together: integrating wellbeing, culture, research and healthcare to create better outcomes for our community.
We’re proud to stand alongside partners who share our commitment to equity, innovation and culturally safe care, and to be part of a future where health systems are shaped with community, not just for community.

Today marks the anniversary of the National Apology to the Stolen Generations, a significant moment in Australia’s history that acknowledged the experiences of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children forcibly removed from their families.
We take time to reflect, listen and honour the strength and resilience of Stolen Generations survivors, their families and communities. Acknowledging the past is essential to walking forward together with truth, respect and commitment to reconciliation.
