Constellation of care yarning experience

Facilitated by the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Leadership Committee

Thursday 1 December, 10am-1130am AEST

CEOs Boardroom, State Library of Queensland

SHPA Members only

This pre-conference session will place participants in an urban setting on an ancient landscape criss-crossed by modern versions of ageing Aboriginal pathways and gathering places.

Participants will experience a guided mental stripping back of the landscape surrounding the Talking Circle and Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre and an introduction to the stories, relationships and places that continue to shape the lives of the world’s oldest consumers, carers, and community networks.

This guided opening provides the setting for ceremonially opening the Yarning Circle and hearing from Brisbane Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community members about their lived consumer experiences of a hybrid health system that struggles with understanding The Gap let alone Closing the Gap.

The 90-minute Constellation of Care yarning experience may challenge personal conceptions of partnerships and the act of partnering… the why, how and for who - so what?

Participants will have enhanced understanding of:

  • self as a more effective communicator, leader, and advocate for health equity; and
  • the complexities of an urban financial ecosystem of stakeholders chartered with responsibilities for improving the health and well-being of all Australians.

Weather permitting, part of this session will involve a walk from the State Library of Queensland Talking Circle to the Brisbane River.
