Queensland Health and the Australian Indigenous HealthInfoNet have launched a new online portal to support those working or studying in First Nations health across the state.

The Queensland Portal provides state-specific health information and resources for students, academics, policymakers and health professionals.

Funded by the Queensland Department of Health, the portal includes a map feature that allows users to search by Hospital and Health Service region.

It connects users to relevant publications, programs, courses, organisations and job opportunities.

The portal also includes information on upcoming events and funding opportunities across the state.

Noongar woman and HealthInfoNet Director, Professor Bep Uink, said the portal offers a curated and culturally safe collection of materials.

"This freely accessible portal will help support and inform the health workforce in Queensland by providing them with up to date, relevant and evidence-based resources for First Nations peoples," she said.

"I am delighted that Queensland Health have chosen the HealthInfoNet to provide and keep updated this curated culturally safe collection to support their ongoing initiatives in improving health outcomes for their First Nations population groups."

Queensland Health's Chief First Nations Health Officer, Yalanji and Tagalaka woman Ms Haylene Grogan, said the portal would help improve access to quality information.

"The Queensland portal will facilitate access to evidence-based health information about First Nations peoples," she said.

"I'm excited by the possibilities this offers in supporting improved health outcomes for our people."

The Queensland Portal is available on the HealthInfoNet website.
