Healing Hands Women’s Group is a safe, healing space for First Nations women from all different clans/backgrounds to come together to:

Respect and honour our stories
Care for one another with honesty and kindness
Listen, learn, laugh, cry, grow, and empower one another
Embrace each other’s indifferences
Walk alongside each other and uplift each other with words of encouragement and strength
Restore our spirit, and our communities back to peace and harmony.

Let’s celebrate our woman spirit, as life-givers, caretakers, gatherers, healers, nurturers, and guardians.

Remembering, you are strong: the holder of spiritual knowledge, the sharer of stories, the connection to culture, the flow in dance, and the heart in language.

And together, we can create change, heal, and make new storylines for our families and future generations to come.

If you are ready to take the step forward and learn more about our safe Healing Hands Women’s Group, reach out for a yarn with our friendly team today on 1800254354.

Birthing in Our Communities has developed a series of short films to celebrate more than a decade of intensive support to families across South East Queensland, Australia.

The first short film “Our journey. Walking beside our families.” deep dives and explores the stories of real BiOC families benefiting from the original program.

Although brief, the insight (and gratitude) shared is absolute, and the team are exciting for what is on the horizon.

IUIH Response to COVID-19

The COVID-19 pandemic has profoundly changed we live and work. At this time, the Institute for Urban Indigenous Health (IUIH)’s focus on healthy, strong, and vibrant Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children, families, and communities is critical.

In a rapidly changing environment, we remain firmly focused on ensuring the best outcomes for our people.

IUIH and its member services have developed a 3-phase Pandemic Plan which informs the way we continue to provide the comprehensive range of services and programs that our community relies on for good health, well-being, and connection in response to levels of community transmission of COVID-19 in community.

Please check with your local Community Controlled Health Service to find out what level of the Pandemic Plan they are operating under.

I Stepped Up

Respected members of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community have come together for the ‘I Stepped Up’ campaign to highlight the importance of getting the COVID-19 vaccine.

‘I Stepped Up’ is run by The Institute for Urban Indigenous Health (IUIH) along with the four founding Community Controlled Health Services (CCHHSs) with an aim to empower our mob 12 and older to get the COVID-19 vaccine to protect yourself, your family and your community.

Data modelling and COVID impact Indigenous populations across SEQ

The Community Controlled Health Services from across South East Queensland met at an urgent summit in Brisbane to discuss modelling which predicts the likely impact of COVID-19 within Indigenous populations should vaccination rates not drastically improve prior to the opening of Queensland’s border.
