Nukal Murra

The Nukal Murra Alliance brings together the Western Queensland Primary Health Network (WQPHN) and the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Community Controlled Health Services (AICCHS) in a regionally focused, culturally informed partnership to improve the health, social and emotional wellbeing of our communities.

The naming of the “Nukal Murra” combines two traditional languages from the Western Queensland catchment; Nukal, meaning ‘plenty or many’ in the language of the lower gulf and Murra meaning ‘hand or hands’ in the language of Central West and South West.

Nukal Murra also reflects our joint aspirations to create greater service alignment, integration and consumer engagement to improve the health outcomes of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in Western Queensland.

Western Queensland Primary Health Network (WQPHN) also provides for an Alliance Contract to support innovation and co-commissioning of mental health and chronic disease support service (WQPHN, 2022).
