According to the World Health Organisation, ‘social injustice is killing people on a grand scale’.
This is particularly true for the poorest countries, but it is also true for rich countries like Australia where health and illness follows a social gradient: the lower the socioeconomic position, the lower the health status. WWG is committed to a human rights framework to address social injustice and health inequity for all with a particular focus on people from CALD backgrounds in Australia and economically and socially disadvantaged communities overseas, particularly those communities that have strong links and connections to Australia.
In Queensland the human rights legislation and framework are highly relevant to our work as they uphold everyone’s right to health services, information on health and wellbeing, access to services especially for vulnerable groups and protection from infectious and endemic diseases. At present, the level of investment and policy responses to multicultural health are not in line with Section 37 of the Human Rights Act 2019.
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.
