2024 NAATSIHWP National Conference

The National Association of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Workers and Practitioners (NAATSIHWP) is the national peak workforce organisation with responsibility for ensuring this workforce is embedded as a vital, valued and professional component of Australia’s health care system.

We support a growing national network of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Workers and Health Practitioners through the provision of ongoing support, training and resources, and consider the professional development of Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander Health Workers and Health Practitioners as tangible and meaningful action. It recognises their value, promotes recognition, contributes to positive sustainable health, education, and employment outcomes, and greater autonomy and self-determination for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people across Australia.

For over a century our workforce has cemented themselves as critical to front line efforts to protect their communities. Evidence now consistently demonstrates how strong and effective health services can be when they work collaboratively and employ our people.

The 2024 NAATSIHWP National Conference to be held over 3 and 4 September 2024 provides a significant opportunity to showcase and honour the deadly work of our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Workers and Practitioners. This year’s theme is ‘Reaping the Rewards of Resilience’ to celebrate the achievements that have occurred as a result of our workforce’s enduring strength, perseverance, and unwavering resilience in the face of historical adversity.

The National Conference will be held at The Perth Convention Centre on Whadjuk Nyoongar Country in Western Australia. Opening with a Preconference on the evening of 2 September and culminating on the 4 September with an Awards Gala Dinner on the final evening of the 3 September.
