Title: Covid-19 Vaccination Training for Indigenous Health Workers in Queensland
Presenter: Karina Baigrie Nurse Educator,
RN RM IPN BNurs, GradDip Midwifery, GradCert Child, Adolescent and Family Health, GradCert Adult & Tertiary Education, GradCert TESOL
Cunningham Centre
Baillie Henderson Hospital, Toowoomba
Abstract:
The Cunningham Centre (Darling Downs Hospital and Health Service) partnered with the First Nations COVID-19 Response Team, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Division (Queensland Health), to develop an education program that facilitated and enabled Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Workers and Practitioners to support the COVID-19 vaccination roll out across Queensland. This training became mandatory for First Nations staff under the Queensland Health Vaccination Training Matrix. The project aimed to improve outcomes for Queensland’s First Nations people by bringing care on or closer to country. The implementation of this project reinforced the valuable role of this workforce and demonstrated that with appropriate support, staff can increase vaccination rates and improve cultural safety and accessibility of our services.

Title: Growing Up in Queensland: Living through COVID
Presenter: Alysse Leicht
Senior Advisor, Engagement & Community Education
Queensland Family & Child Commission
Abstract:
The QFCC has a statutory responsibility to listen to the perspectives of Queensland’s children and young people. To do this, we conduct a biennial Growing Up in Queensland project that invites children and young people to share their experiences of their communities, their hopes and dreams, and the issues that are important to them. To date, these have been conducted in 2018 and 2020; however, the unique and significant circumstances over the last two years presented an opportunity to hear from young people during 2021. Growing Up in Queensland: Living through COVID explores young people’s experiences in Queensland during the COVID-19 pandemic.
