Description
The National Guide to Preventive Healthcare for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander People webinars, hosted by the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners (RACGP) and the National Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Organisation (NACCHO), provide a comprehensive, free online learning series designed to support culturally safe and effective healthcare delivery. While tailored primarily for general practitioners and health professionals working with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities, these webinars are accessible and beneficial to people across a range of professions involved in health and community services.
The series covers a wide range of topics, including the health impacts of racism, sleep, vaping, and climate change, reflecting emerging health priorities identified by both the community and healthcare providers. These areas are central to the fourth edition of the National Guide, which focuses on practical, action-based approaches to preventive care. Professionals from diverse backgrounds such as social workers, community health workers, educators, and policy makers can all find valuable insights relevant to their roles.
Endorsed by the National Association of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Workers and Practitioners (NAATSIHWP), the webinars are a valuable resource for continuing professional development (CPD). They assist healthcare professionals and others working in related fields to meet their CPD requirements while deepening their understanding of culturally safe practices.
These webinars are freely accessible, making them an essential resource for a broad range of professionals committed to delivering high-quality, culturally competent care and support to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.

- Gambling
- Preconception and pregnancy
- Smoking and vaping
