During the COVID-19 pandemic, an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Advisory Group on COVID-19 was established.

This partnership strengthened health outcomes primarily by:

  1. Relieving government agencies of responsibility for Indigenous health.
  2. Ensuring First Nations voices defined issues and developed culturally appropriate solutions.
  3. Implementing equal pandemic responses across all Australian communities.
  4. Centralising decision-making to streamline emergency responses.
