Joint Colleges Training Services (JCTS) weaves clinical and cultural education together to create greater access, acceptance and participation in healthcare for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and communities.
We promote the prevention and control of diseases by providing ongoing cultural mentorship, training and education. We also collaborate with government agencies to provide suitable housing and facilities for GPs and GP registrars working in remote communities.
We understand the power of early cultural education and are committed to creating positive social change by giving general practitioners and registrars the best possible start in connecting and learning about working with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples to create healthy futures and strong communities.
We acknowledge Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the First Peoples and Traditional Owners/Custodians of these lands, in the spirit of reconciliation.
We recognise that First Nations peoples have cared for Country for millennia and seek to learn from both Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander ways of knowing, being and doing.
We acknowledge that sovereignty of this land was never ceded and pay our respects to First Nations Elders – Past, Present and to emerging young leaders who will carry their heritage, customs, language and cultural practices into the future.
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people should be aware that this website contains images, voices and names of those returned to the dreaming.
