Foundation for Indigenous Sustainable Health
FISH develops & runs a range of initiatives to meet our Vision for all First Nations people to be confident, connected, and healthy
FISH was originally established to address the severe housing crisis in First Nations communities throughout Australia. Our work has since expanded to include education, health, justice and cultural initiatives.
Acknowledging Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people have a living spiritual, cultural, familial and social connection with country, FISH seeks to bring healing to the spirit, heart, mind, body and land to help create healthy people and communities.
We aim to develop sustainable health through co-designed community-based programs providing learning experiences in life skills, personal development, and creative initiatives.
FISH aims to provide opportunities for First Nations people to share their wisdom and insights to the broader community to teach people how to connect and care for each other and for country, whilst closing the gap and breaking generational cycles of poverty, trauma, and engagement with the justice system.
