Wellbeing looks different for everyone. For Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, it is often understood through the lens of culture, community, Country, and connection, a holistic view that has sustained people across this land for tens of thousands of years. 

The intention of sharing these resources is to help elevate and amplify organisations, voices, and perspectives that are already doing this work with care, cultural knowledge, and lived experience. 

If you identify as Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander, we hope you find something here that feels relevant and safe. And for all of our Australian community, we hope these perspectives enrich the way you think about wellbeing. 

Clearhead acknowledges Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the Traditional Custodians of the lands across Australia, and pays respect to Elders past, present and emerging.
