This suite of resources has been developed in partnership between Jean Hailes for Women's Health and Alukura Women's Health Service on behalf of Central Australian Aboriginal Congress (Congress), on the land of the Central Arrernte people. It includes an educational toolkit, booklets, and animations. The resources have been informed through consultations with Aboriginal women and health professionals in Mparntwe (Alice Springs) to ensure they are culturally appropriate, relevant and accessible.
