In October 2022, First Nations community representatives, researchers, health service
providers, policy advisors and clinicians will travel to Mparntwe, (pronounced mm-BARN-doo-uh),
Alice Springs, for a national gathering on Central Arrernte land. The gathering provides
an opportunity for delegates from across Australia to showcase exemplary models of
care, to share new research and ideas, and to network and invest in a shared vision
to address inequities in maternal and infant health services and outcomes for First
Nations mothers and babies. Health services will showcase how they have redesigned
and delivered their care to make a profound impact on Closing the Gap Target 2: First
Nations children are born healthy and strong.
