We acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the lands and waters across South Australia and the Northern Territory where doctors and medical students live, learn and practise, and we pay our respects to Elders past and present.
We recognise the deep knowledge and enduring connection to Country that has sustained Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples for tens of thousands of years, and we acknowledge the ongoing impacts of colonisation on health and wellbeing.
To every doctor and medical student who has worked, or is preparing to work, in Australian communities: may we approach Country with humility, listen first, and practise with recognition that healing is strongest when care is grounded in relationship, community and place.
Doctors' Health SA works with Drs4Drs to help doctors and medical students access confidential support. You can call 1300 374 377 or visit their website here.
