Background in Public Health/heath promotion/prevention
Leading the development of EB-TIS to support the use of best practice:
Collating existing literature, interpreting and presenting for the portal
Supporting teams developing their own evidence
Material on the portal will include a range of media - written word, videos, etc
We would like your help in reviewing the materials to let us know if they are user friendly and accessible for your workers

7. The Australian Indigenous HealthInfoNet shares information with people working and studying in the area of Indigenous health and provides up to date information on its website ( in different ways, allowing people to increase their knowledge and keep up to date with what is happening. This can help speed up the process of learning about Indigenous health and what can be done to improve health services and practices.
The HealthInfoNet contains information on more than 30 health topics, and includes a collection of special ‘portals’ for eight different health worker groups including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Workers, Social and Emotional Wellbeing Workers, and Healthy Lifestyle Workers. We will be creating a new portal specifically for Tackling Indigenous Smoking Workers.
The Yarning places on the HealthInfoNet enable people with an interest in Indigenous health to share information, knowledge and experience - even when they live in different states, territories and regions, come from different sectors (such as health, education and justice), and work for different organisations. There will be a new Yarning place created specifically for the Tackling Indigenous Smoking Workers.
