SearchThe development and implementation of a Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) ensures the voices of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples are heard and considered in all of our decisions and actions.
By improving cultural understanding throughout our PHN, we can influence sustainable change that will incorporate the knowledge, traditions, customs and values of Aboriginal and Torres Strait islander peoples and their cultures.
With improved understanding, we will be able to provide efficient and effective support to our key health service delivery partners to improve the health of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples that reside in our communities.
Darling Downs and West Moreton PHN commissioned Danielle Leedie Gray an artist, illustrator, graphic designer and a proud First Nations woman to develop a bespoke piece of artwork to depict the PHN's commitment to reconciliation.
Circles of Care and Connection
By Danielle Leedie Gray
Circles of Care and Connection visualises the essential links between community, health, and cultural values through a series of interconnected circles and motifs. The concentric circles represent key priorities such as Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health, Aged Care, Mental Health, Alcohol and Drugs, Digital Health, and Population Health. Each circle is decorated with unique patterns—waves, dots, cogwheels, and sun symbols—that embody cultural ties, stories, reflection, pathways to recovery, energy, and collaboration.
Lines and dots weave through these circles, illustrating the continuous flow of communication, shared effort, and interconnected support across all sectors of community health. These interconnected motifs highlight the importance of unity and cooperation in fostering wellbeing and resilience.
Surrounding the circles are hills symbolising core community values—Accountability, Collaboration, Respect, Innovation, Transparency, and Integrity—underscoring the moral foundation guiding community wellness. The artwork celebrates unity, cultural continuity, and collective responsibility, demonstrating how diverse efforts harmoniously come together to nurture community health and resilience.
