Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Engagement
Our vision is that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples have equality of opportunity to lead, deliver and experience the highest standard of skin health and dermatology care. | To achieve this, we will use our skills and resources in partnership with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples to increase the number of First Nations dermatologists, improve access to culturally safe dermatology care and foster reconciliation. |
Here you can find out more about College’s initiatives with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples to improve equality of opportunity and skin health.

Our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Affairs Committee
Our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Affairs Committee began in 2008. The Committee provides oversight, advice and supports implementation of our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health and workforce strategy. Reporting directly to the College Board, it also oversees the development and implementation of College’s reconciliation action plans.
Our committee members are also a great source of information and advice for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander medical students and graduates considering a career in dermatology. If you are considering specialising in dermatology, email enquiries@dermcoll.edu.au and we’ll be pleased to put you in touch.
