East Metropolitan Health Service (EMHS) recognises the Whadjuk people of the Noongar Nation as the Traditional Owners of the land which we live, learn and work on today. We acknowledge that the Whadjuk people have a continuing spiritual and cultural connection to this land and pay respect to all Noongar Elders past, present and emerging. We welcome all Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal people to our services.
Acknowledgment of the Aboriginal community
The voice of Aboriginal peoples and communities is reflected in the EMHS 2023-24 Annual Report to ensure that cultural appropriateness and the health impacts on Aboriginal peoples have been considered and incorporated.
Cultural warning
The EMHS 2023-24 Annual Report may contain articles that display names and images of Aboriginal persons and their artwork who have passed away.
EMHS respects and understands the cultural norms – relating to the display of Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander people who have passed away – for the artists and their families.
Within Western Australia (WA), the term Aboriginal peoples is used in preference to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, in recognition that Aboriginal peoples are the original inhabitants of WA. No disrespect is intended to the Torres Strait Islander community
