HEALTH AND WELLBEING

Cape York communities endure unacceptable health outcomes, including an average life expectancy 19 years below that of wider Queensland, and an unparalleled lack of access to healthcare services. We ensure that a holistic

approach to wellbeing—concerning accessibility, empathy, and effective communication—underpins all of our work at Cape York Partnership.

Good health begins in the gut. But for communities that exist beyond the reaches of big business supply chains, they are often required to make do with meagre, overpriced grocery items that lack nutritional value. With persistence and dedication, we are finding creative and innovative solutions to this problem.

Finally, we know that a genuine co-design process with the people of Cape York is paramount to closing the gap in health. Our bias for strong partnerships will ensure this is achieved.
