Help illustrate NCPHN’s Reconciliation Action Plan $500 in prize money for each selected artwork North Coast Primary Health Network (NCPHN) is developing a Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) and is calling for locally produced Indigenous artworks to feature in the published Reconciliation Plan. Improving Aboriginal health is a key priority for NCPHN. We are committed to closing the gap in health inequities. Entries on the theme of Reconciliation and Health are invited from all Aboriginal Nations between Tweed and Port Macquarie including Bundjalung, Arakwal, Gumbaynggirr, Yaegl, Githabul, Birpal and Dunghutti. Artwork from each nation will be chosen to be displayed and will represent all Nations on the North Coast. North Coast Primary Health Network’s Acting Aboriginal Health Manager Kim Gussy said the artworks should explore what reconciliation and the health of our local community means to your family and the Aboriginal community. “We are looking for original artworks exploring topics such as acknowledgement of history, respecting cultural diversity, providing engagement opportunities and understanding health. We want the topics to be presented through the lens of our local Aboriginal people,” she said. Entries are welcome from artists of all ages and all levels of artistic ability. Artists must:

• Identify as Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander
• Live in one of the Aboriginal Nations between Tweed Heads and Port Macquarie
• Respond to the theme of Reconciliation and Health

Artworks need to be received online by 5pm AEST Friday 14 December 2018. Terms and conditions apply. Find out more and upload artworks at: www.ncphn.org.au/art-for-reconciliation The development of NCPHN’s RAP plan is supported by funding from the Australian Government.
