Education for Health Professionals
The Australian Bushfood Education Centre provides health professionals with culturally safe education on bush foods and bush medicines to enhance clinical practice and patient outcomes. We believe in empowering professionals and communities with Aboriginal ways of knowing, being and doing to support the long-term health and wellbeing of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities
