Adapting the Got It! program to support Aboriginal Children became a blueprint for cultural adaptation across our District.

Aboriginal Got It! uses a culturally adapted model of care that infuses Aboriginal traditional healing practices and ways of being with western clinical practices.

By documenting the adaptation process, we produced a Cultural Adaptation Toolkit to help others build cultural responsiveness into their services.

Aboriginal Got It! won the NSW Health Award for Excellence in Aboriginal Healthcare in 2022.
