Strong Boorais, Strong Communities
Research seminar presented by Karinda Taylor, Chief Executive Officer at First Peoples’ Health and Wellbeing.
Karinda Taylor, is a Wamba Wamba woman and Chief Executive Officer at First Peoples’ Health and Wellbeing (FPHW), a culturally safe, trauma informed Aboriginal health service with clinics in Thomastown and Frankston. With a background in nursing and midwifery , Karinda is a committed health professional who believes connection to culture, kin and a sense of belonging are vital to overall health and wellbeing. With over 20 years’ experience, working in various clinical, strategic leadership and management roles across Aboriginal community controlled health organisations, state government and regional and metropolitan hospitals, Karinda brings a genuine knowledge and understanding of, and an affinity with, Aboriginal culture, health, philosophy and practice.
As an Aboriginal community controlled health organisation, FPHW is committed to reducing inequity for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander families and to ensuring child safety and wellbeing. FPHW understands that to truly reduce the inequities experienced by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, a long-term approach to social change is needed. Initiatives need to be both innovative and evidence-based to shift systems, build capacity and share knowledge.
FPHW is an organisation founded on the ethos of kind care, community engagement and Aboriginal healing ways. It has a vision to break the cycle of disadvantage in Australia through partnerships with people, communities and organisations; to build the capacity and capability needed for sustainable change. FPHW knows that "Thriving Children" are at the heart of achieving significant change for vulnerable communities, enabling future generations to break the cycle of disadvantage.
Join HSCU as Karinda shares her organisation’s collective passion, wisdom and positivity in the creation of Australia’s first Aboriginal-led Early Parenting Centre (to be located in the Bayside Peninsula region). The Centre will enhance FPHW’s holistic, wrap-around care of families, from the antenatal period to early childhood and beyond. As an organisation committed to strong advocacy for maternity care and early parenting, the Centre will enable Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children to thrive, and will demonstrate how critically important self-determination and cultural safety are for generational change.
Registration is free and everyone is welcome.
