The AH&MRC is governed by a Board of elected Aboriginal people who represent, support and advocate for members and their communities on Aboriginal health at state and national levels.
“Aboriginal health” means not just the physical well-being of an individual but refers to the social, emotional and cultural well-being of the whole Community in which each individual is able to achieve their full potential as a human being thereby bringing about the total well-being of their Community. It is a whole of life view and includes the cyclical concept of life-death-life.
