Established and funded by philanthropists Greg Poche AO and Kay Van Norton Poche, the Poche Indigenous Health Network aims to help close the gap in life expectancy and achieve health equality for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. We recognise that respecting local communities and supporting collaboration and self-determination will be the only way to achieve this goal.

The vision for the Poche Indigenous Health Network was developed by Reg Richardson AM and Tom Calma AO both of whom are dear friends of the Poche family.

We acknowledge the Traditional Owners of the land across Australia and pay our respect to the Elders past, present and future. We also acknowledge young people as they are our future leaders.
