Based out of Princess Alexandra Hospital, this model of care improves access to kidney transplantation services to First Nations communities across the state.
Indigenous-led and proudly supported by the National Indigenous Kidney Taskforce and Clinical Excellence Queensland, the team have liaised extensively with local Elders and traditional custodians to ensure that the outreach truly meets the needs of the community.
From appropriate education to face-to-face yarning, this on Country outreach is drastically improving transplantation rates.
