Refugee Health Partnership Advisory Group Qld
The Refugee Health Partnership Advisory Group Queensland (RH PAGQ) was established in 2017 alongside the Refugee Health Network Queensland, with funding from Queensland Health.
RH PAGQ is a statewide partnership forum that supports collaboration and implementation of the Queensland Refugee Health and Wellbeing Policy and Action Plan (2022-2027). The group brings together representatives from health services, government agencies, primary health networks, settlement services, community organisations and refugee communities to identify emerging issues, share knowledge and best practices, foster innovation, and advocate for system improvements. Through these partnerships, RH PAGQ seeks to promote equitable, culturally safe, and responsive healthcare for people from refugee and asylum seeker backgrounds.
RH PAGQ is co-chaired by representatives from Ethnic Communities Council of Queensland (ECCQ) and the Director of Mater Refugee and Multicultural Health Service.
