Culture Well
WWG is in a partnership with One Health Organisation and Asthma Australia to unpack the social determinants of health impacting on development of chronic disease. As the first pilot site for this national project we are focusing on the social determinants of health, not on disease treatment — research shows that healthcare contributes only 20% of our health outcomes. Lifestyle factors make up 30%, whilst socio-economic determinants of health create 40% of our health. The final 10% is made up of environmental and genetic factors. We are systems mapping with three CALD communities to identify the key enablers and obstacles to good health. We have collected data from local Arabic speaking, Samoan and Vietnamese communities which ‘map’ the social determinants that create the biggest barriers to their health and wellbeing.
World Wellness Group acknowledges that the space we occupy and the place we conduct our work, has and always will be the traditional lands of the Turrbul and Yuggera people.
We understand that the connection between this land and its indigenous people has a special and spiritual significance that benefits social and emotional wellbeing. We pay our respect to the elders past, present and future of this ancient land and recognise that delivering equitable healthcare requires that we understand, appreciate and reflect our respect for both Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. We commit to growing and nurturing our relationship with Indigenous Australians, to assuring their rightful place in the journey that is better health outcomes for Australia and to exploring the opportunity for partnerships and collaboration to benefit all.
