- Before I begin, I would like to acknowledge the traditional custodians of this land and to pay my respects to elders past and present, but acknowledge community members that are here today. I have lived in Victoria for about thirty years and I believe that until we treat our Aboriginal communities with respect in all aspects of life, the fate of those most recently settled is unstable and insecure. The health and wellbeing of Aboriginal communities, their fate regarding fundamental issues such as human right, land rights and health is therefore; intrinsically linked ours.

- The communities we work with come mostly from collectivist communities. Their ideas, perceptions and world view about health & wellbeing, disease, illness are often founded in deep seeded beliefs that have been handed down for generations. Most importantly, when working with people from migrant and refugee communities we acknowledge the importance of context and relationship. That is, an individualâs health status is intrinsically linked to their , spirituality, their community, their family, feelings of belonging and security.
- The impact of stigma on the spread of HIV has been widely documented and acknowledged. Through our work at MHSS, these are some of the key issues we face.
