About Us?

The Institute for Urban Indigenous Health Ltd was established by its founding members to provide a coordinated/integrated approach to the planning, development, and delivery of comprehensive primary health and wellbeing services for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander populations within the Southeast Qld Region.

The IUIH Mental Health Hubs aim to provide culturally safe mental health services with a strong lived experience voice. The service embeds Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander concepts of social and emotional wellbeing, mental health and healing to provide wholistic and wraparound supports to Mob presenting with moderate to severe mental health needs. Service delivery is led by the lived experience and peer workforce with clinical input and oversight provided as required. The multidisciplinary care team provides psychosocial supports, comprehensive assessment, treatment and assertive outreach support to people aged 15 and above. The Staying Deadly Hub is an extension of the IUIH comprehensive model of care and works closely with stakeholder services to provide responsive care to community members who may otherwise not access support or require inpatient care.
